    Receiving substantial cash refunds or tax credits from the government can provide the stimulus you need to bring your film project to the next level. Even so, many productions which are eligible for thousands of dollars in tax credits aren’t applying for them – because they simply aren’t aware that they qualify. The compliance and tax issues to secure these credits are complex and time consuming. At Qmulus we assist you with your tax credit management and we make sure you are making the most of the benefits available.

    our areas of expertise:

    • Credit eligibility
    • Credit estimates and calculation review
    • Completion of tax credit applications, such as:
      • Ontario Interactive Digital Media (OIDMTC)
      • Ontario Production Services (OPSTC)
