Australian Tax Incentives

The Australian Government legislates two primary tax incentives for qualifying screen productions. These offsets are independently assessed and paid by the ATO on successful completion of the production.

PRODUCTION OFFSET

Available to Australian feature films, television series, and other eligible formats. Representing 25% to 30% of the total finance plan, this offset is legislated and payable by the ATO on delivery.

GOVERNMENT BACKING

Lending is secured against legislated ATO tax incentives, not commercial performance. Repayment is independent of whether the film succeeds.

How your capital moves.

We lend against legislated Australian government tax incentives, not box office performance. Our returns are independent of a film’s commercial success.

01 Project Confirmed

Producers submit key project details via our qualification form – including project type, budget, production stage, and eligibility for the Australian Production Offset or PDV. Only projects that meet our criteria proceed to the next stage.

02 Finance Deployed

Production Offset or PDV Offset – 25–30% of the total finance plan.

03 DIRECT REPAYMENT

Repayment flows directly from the ATO Offset & PDV payments upon successful completion of the production, independent of box office performance.

The Lending Model

Because these incentives are only paid after a production completes, productions need short-term cashflow finance to access these funds during production. Xcelerate Action provides exactly this lending against the tax incentive the production is entitled to, and securing repayment directly from the ATO offset payment.
