In this episode of the Entertainment and Media Law Signal podcast series, Bob Tarantino speaks with Isla MacGillivray about recent updates to UK tax incentives for film and television productions and their relevance to Canadian producers. The Audio-Visual Expenditure Credit (AVEC) for film, high-end TV, animation, and children’s TV was introduced on January 1, 2024 and the new enhanced AVEC (aka Independent Film Tax Credit) was introduced on April 1, 2024.

As counsel in the Toronto office, Bob focuses his practice on the interface between the entertainment industry and intellectual property law. Isla is a partner and Head of Film and TV at Saffery LLP, a UK audit, accounting and tax practice that operates throughout the UK and Ireland.
