Troy Studios and Ardmore Studios CEO Elaine Geraghty believes that the upper limit of 70 million on the Irish Section 481 tax incentive is acting as a barrier to Ireland securing large-scale international productions.
This comes following the publication of a new PwC Report, commissioned by Ardmore Studios and Troy Studios, which highlights how the Section 481 tax credit underpins the success of the screen sector.
The report reveals how Film, TV and Animation productions supported by the Section 481 tax credit scheme delivered over €469 million in total economic contribution to Ireland in 2019. This figure is estimated to represent a return on investment of €3.80 for every €1.
