The Payroll Tax Rebate is a rebate open to eligible businesses on Payroll Tax paid in Queensland, administered by Screen Queensland on behalf of the State Government’s Office of State Revenue (OSR).

The Rebate available is not capped. This funding program is open all year.

Claims must be made after completion of the production, using the Payroll Tax Rebate Application Form. Claims will be processed by Screen Queensland on receipt of all necessary supporting documentation and when all contractual obligations to Screen Queensland have been acquitted.

Application Forms must be completed and submitted to Screen Queensland within 12 months of completion of the production in Queensland. Claims made outside this period are ineligible.

To be eligible projects must have Queensland Production Expenditure (QPE) of $A 3.5 million, unless bundling projects – see Bundling Conditions.

To be eligible for the Payroll Tax Rebate you must be either

• a Queensland based practitioner
• substantially engaging with Queensland based practitioners
• substantially engaging with Queensland facilities
• conducting a Screen Culture event in Queensland

Types of production eligible to apply for rebates include feature films, telemovies and television series (including reality drama and mini-series) that satisfy minimum contract expenditure and eligibility criteria.

Short films, documentaries and television commercials are not eligible to apply, nor are employees of Broadcasters or State/Federal Screen Agencies.

You must have an Australian Business Number and not currently have any projects being funded by SQ in default.
