OBA Entertainment, Media & Communications Law PROGRAM | Original Program Date: May 9, 2022

This past year, Canada’s federal tax credit authorities received the most applications in CAVCO’s history. No doubt tax credits and coproductions remain some of the most vital components of film and tv financing. Join us as we hear the latest developments from government tax credit and financing authorities and one of Canada's leading practitioners. Also gain valuable insight on issues commonly encountered by practitioners including:

• The most commonly seen CAVCO compliance issues (e.g. exploitation and breakdown of costs)
• Issues encountered when submitting treaty coproduction applications
• Remote work’s effect tax credits analysis
• Assessments for inter-provincial coproductions
• Most common pre-assessments

Whether you’re new to the industry, someone wishing a refresher, or an industry veteran looking for new developments and latest trends, do not miss out on this opportunity to gain helpful insights for you and your clients.
