Australia / Singapore Co-Production Agreement
Following the August signing of a film co-production agreement between Australia and China;
The Minister for the Arts and Sport, Senator George Brandis, signed a film and television co-production agreement with Singapore.
The co-production agreement allows an approved film or television programme to be considered as a national production in each of the co-production countries so that producers can then apply for any benefits or programs of assistance available in either country, including investment and tax incentives. The production is also treated as 'local content' in each country for the purposes of audiovisual regulation. The agreement will be administered by the Australian Film Commission and the Media Development Authority of Singapore, on behalf of their respective countries.
This latest treaty is expected to come into force in the next few months. Australia's International Co-production Program is administered by the Australian Film Commission. See www.afc.gov.au/coproductions for more information.
