Article Comment – The Best Countries in the World to Film Your Movie, Based on Production Incentives

There are some mistakes in this article.

In relation to Australia it does not mention the Location Offset at 16.5% and implies that the Producer Offset is available for foreign production, which it is not. In relation to Canada it does not mention the Federal tax incentive of 16% on qualifying labour. Also, in relation to Canada the provinces offer either a tax rebate on labour or one on production spend, but not both. In the case of the UK it says "25% cash rebate and up to 80% tax relief" which is misleading. The rebate is 25% of UK spend on up to 80% of the total budget. In relation to South Africa the post-production rebate is 2.5% not 25% and to get it you have to shoot in SA.

There may be more mistakes that I have not picked up. The best source of information on incentives is Entertainment Partners https://www.epfinancialsolutions.com/ which has a searchable database that it keeps up to date and provides a regular newsletter on changes to incentives.
