Newfoundland and Labrador interactive digital media tax credit

You can claim this credit if you paid eligible salaries and remuneration for eligible interactive digital media projects in the province.

The refundable credit is equal to 40% of qualifying expenditures incurred on or after January 1, 2015. Qualifying expenditures are eligible salaries and 65% of eligible remuneration. The credit is limited to $40,000 per employee and $2 million per corporation or group of associated corporations per year.

The minister of Finance for the province of Newfoundland and Labrador will issue a tax credit certificate to a corporation that produces an eligible interactive digital media project in the province.
