Vancouver Sun: A petition backed by B.C.’s International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) Local 891 union is calling on Ottawa to change how the production services tax credit is calculated.

The move, the union says, would make B.C. and Canada more competitive for film and TV production.

As someone who has been following and commenting on the film tax introduction in the United States, I think it is really interesting that I am only learning about this tax and additional tax credits on the entertainment industry now. As the article says, recalculating film tax credits will not only help show support for the film industry in British Columbia but also attract more jobs inside the film industry. I think that this is extremely important, especially in places such as Canada where the entertainment industry is particularly strong. I am also not particularly surprised that Trump is somehow mentioned in an article regarding Canada’s entertainment industry. As from this article it seems that the US and Canadian film industry are in large competition with each other. I wonder what the future holds for the changing of film tax credits in Canada.
