Screen incentives
The New Zealand Film Commission administers screen incentives and co-production opportunities for both domestic and international screen projects. Qualifying productions are able to apply for grants from both funding sources.
Local productions
New Zealand Productions are eligible for a cash grant of 40% of qualifying New Zealand production expenditure.
The New Zealand Screen Production Grant (NZSPG) for New Zealand Productions is part of the Government’s screen incentives scheme. Eligible productions can access a cash rebate equivalent to 40% of Qualifying New Zealand Production Expenditure (QNZPE).
International productions
International Productions are eligible for a cash grant of 20% of Qualifying New Zealand Production Expenditure
As well as the cash grant of 20% of Qualifying New Zealand Production Expenditure (QNZPE), international productions that can show that their production will bring significant economic benefits to New Zealand, can also get an extra 5% uplift.
