OVERVIEW OF MULTIMEDIA & DIGITAL MEDIA TAX CREDIT
In Quebec, the Tax Credit for the Production of Multimedia Titles is administered by Invest Quebec and typically applies to video game development and interactive digital media applications. This tax credit can refund up to 37.5% of the salaries of eligible employees or subcontractors for work done on qualifying multimedia productions in Quebec.
In Ontario, the Ontario Interactive Digital Media Tax Credit (OIDMTC) is managed by the Ontario Media Development Corporation and exists to aid game development and the creation of other eligible interactive digital media products. It consists of a tax credit of up to 40% of the eligible expenditures incurred by an admissible Ontario business.
