Section 481- The Irish Tax Incentive

"Section 481" is a tax credit in Ireland that encourages film, TV, animation, and creative documentary production. It is administered by Ireland's Department of Culture and the Revenue Commissioners.

EGG has a strong history of collaborating with producers on projects that qualify for Ireland's Section 481 Tax Credit, which can provide up to 32% of eligible Irish expenditure. Additionally, there is a 5% bonus for projects shot in the regions. The tax credit covers expenses related to cast, crew, goods, services, post-production, and VFX sourced in Ireland. It applies to feature films, TV dramas, animation, and creative documentaries.
