Under the new provisions, from 01 May 2016, the expenditure per project which can be supported by the Film Tax Credit will increase to €70 million.
Commenting on the improvement to the backdrop for filmmakers in Ireland, Minister Noonan said: "The revised Film Tax Credit has supported Irish culture and art, and encourages our national film industry. The scheme will now provide companies who produce movies and TV shows with a payable tax credit. The credit is calculated project by project and from the 1st of May companies can claim against expenditure of up to €70 million.
"With this increased cap we will encourage the necessary investment in the provision of studio and other film production facilities. The Irish film industry has a large impact on our culture, our international reputation and recognition. The industry also provides jobs and educational opportunities for many. I look forward to seeing many more quality productions from filmmakers in Ireland who have benefitted from this incentive."
