Australia’s introduction of a 30 to 40% tax incentive for video games will halt the growth of New Zealand’s video games sector, which has been the fastest growing part of our screen industry in recent years, says New Zealand Game Developers Association chairperson Chelsea Rapp.

Australia’s introduction of a 30 to 40% tax incentive
for video games will halt the growth of New Zealand’s
video games sector, which has been the fastest growing part
of our screen industry in recent years, says New Zealand
Game Developers Association chairperson Chelsea
Rapp.
“Our interactive industry can’t access New
Zealand’s own screen incentives, which is bad enough, but
now with this competition from Australia, we’ll see a
clear brain drain with investment following,” says
Rapp.
“While New Zealand has an incredibly talented
and globally successful games industry, we can’t compete
when you could get a 40% discount to relocate to Australia.
