S487A rather than S481. The Unscripted Tax Credit. These shows absolutely do claim it, but a large number of their costs (including the host) are excluded and they can only get certified for 1 series in a tax year. The incentive could support native shows if it was implemented better. But alas not.

Was very fortunate last week to be part of an Irish screen industry delegation to Canada, facilated by the CMPA and Screen Producers Ireland. A great bunch having great meetings with our friends in the great white north.
