Your real odds
This is an ongoing government tax credit program, so eligible companies that apply correctly receive it rather than competing against other applicants for a limited pool.
Approval depends on meeting the defined criteria and filing both Part A and Part B applications correctly, with no competitive ranking involved.
What it takes
Submit Part A (Eligibility Certificate application) before production beginsBefore principal photography or key animation starts
Complete your production, then submit Part B (Tax Credit Certificate application)Within 30 months after the end of the tax year in which eligible expenditures were made
Claim the credit on your T2 Corporation Income Tax Return with CRAAt tax filing time
Worth knowing
An additional 17.5% credit is available on top of the base credit for labour directly tied to animation-specific activities, and tracking that labour separately from general production labour can meaningfully increase your claim.
