ECOZONES AND SE A SONAL INFORMATION
Manitoba’s Ecozones:
Prairies to Tundra, and All Filmable
Prairies: Southwestern Manitoba. Dominated by farmland, and is also the most populated ecozone in Manitoba.
Boreal Plains: Central / Western Manitoba. Low-lying valleys and plains with the majority covered by forests.
Boreal Shield: Central / Eastern Manitoba. This rolling landscape encompasses the Canadian Shield and the boreal forest.
Taiga Shield: Northern Manitoba. Bordering the northern edge of the boreal forest, this ecozone is dotted with lakes and wetlands.
Hudson Plains: Northeastern Manitoba. Flat land-scape dominated by wetlands.

Seasonal Information
• Manitoba has four distinct seasons. Summers are warm and sunny, with extended daylight hours and an extremely long magic hour. Winter days are bright and refreshing and the winter months are perfect for night shoots.
• Most of Manitoba’s 100,000 lakes are frozen over from approximately mid-December to mid-March, with January and February being the best months for shooting on lakes.
• Manitoba has a seasonably dry climate in both winter and summer.
• Manitoba’s southern and northern regions have distinctly different seasons.
Southern Manitoba
Manitoba receives over 2,300 hours of sunlight annually. Winnipeg residents enjoy up to 16 hours of sunlight daily during the summer months.
Summer: The peak season for sunflowers is the second week of July through to the first week of August. The wheat fields turn a golden colour in early August. The wheat fields are harvested mid-August to mid-September.
Autumn: Typically, the leaves begin to change colour by early-September, through to mid- October. By the end of October, most of the leaves have fallen off the trees.
Winter: The first snowfall can vary greatly from year to year. Typically, snow begins to fall in November and there is usually snow cover by December.
Spring: By mid-March, the spring melt starts and snow coverage begins to fluctuate. Lakes are gen-erally not safe to film on after mid-March and the snow is generally gone by the middle of April. The trees begin to bud and turn green between late-April and mid-May, depending on the year and region.
Northern Manitoba (Churchill)
The sun’s rays are reflected off the snow and ice due to Churchill’s latitude, meaning low tempera-tures all year, but the proximity to Hudson’s Bay moderates the temperature in summer months.
Summer: The majority of Churchill’s precipitation falls during the summer. Mid-June through August is Beluga whale season.
Autumn: October and November are prime months for viewing polar bears as ice begins to freeze. Snow begins to accumulate.
Winter: Snow cover is 30-40 cm. Northern Lights are often seen in the clear Northern skies, peaking in March.
Spring: Snow begins to melt and is completely gone by June. Tundra flowers being to bud in late spring.

YOU WILL NEED A PERMIT IF:
• Traffic will be interrupted on city streets.
• Pedestrian traffic on sidewalks will be interrupted.
• A dolly is used on streets or sidewalks.
• Wires or cables run across or over sidewalks.
• A generator is used on a sidewalk or street.
• Filming takes place on public property.
• Public parking will be impacted.
The Film Office acts as a liaison between the arts community and all City departments to provide support as required for permits and information.

Manitoba Film & Video Production Tax Credit
(Cost-Of-Salaries Tax Credit)
Q: Why is Manitoba considered the leader in tax credits?
A: NO application processing fees NO content requirements NO copyright ownership requirements NO co-production requirements (you are not
obliged to work with a Manitoba company, but you would benefit if they brought frequent filmer bonus, MB producer bonus and provincial equity to the table)
NO funding caps per production or per production company (the higher your Manitoba labour expenditures, the higher your tax credit will be!)
NO caps on annual funds available (Manitoba’s tax credit is a rebate, not a finite fund, which means you’ll never have to wait for a new fiscal year to apply for your rebate)
NO minimum or maximum budget requirements NO “first time producer” requirementsQ: Not a Frequent Filmer yet?A: NO PROBLEM! Producers can access the extra
10% by working with a production company that has the frequent filmer status.

d) pay at least 25% of its T4 Summary for the fiscal year of the production to eligible employees and eligible non-resident employees, for work performed in Manitoba, except documentaries where the work can be performed anywhere.
Employees are defined as individuals who receive income tax deductions at source (i.e. a T4 is provided directly by the applicant company). Contracted individuals and loan out corporations would not be in receipt of a T4, and therefore, should not be included in this calculation.
Q: How is permanent establishment defined?A: EASILY. Permanent establishment is defined as
a place of business with at least one employee or agent established with a general authority to contract on behalf of the corporation and with substantial machinery or equipment.
Basically, this means that the production company must have, during principle photography, office space / trailers in Manitoba, a producer, director or production manager in Manitoba (or anyone else who can contract on behalf of the applicant company) and equipment in Manitoba.
Q: Do I need a Manitoba company to apply?A: NO, you do not need a Manitoba company;
however, the applicant company must be incorporated in Canada and at least 25% of the employee salaries paid during the year of the production must be paid to employees who are residents of Manitoba for work performed in Manitoba. (Really not complicated – stick with us and we’ll explain.)
Q: My company is not from Manitoba; therefore, how can I possibly satisfy the 25% rule?
A: EASILY. A non-Manitoba company can satisfy the 25% rule by doing the following:
• Incorporate a taxable single-purpose company in Manitoba or Canada.
• Run all of its Manitoba expenses through this single-purpose company.
• Apply for the Manitoba Tax Credit through this single-purpose company.
• Hire at least one Manitoba resident as an employee for work to be done in Manitoba
You may hire additional people as employees; however, 25% of the sum of these salaries must be paid to employees who are residents of Manitoba for work performed in Manitoba (for documentaries, the work does not have to be performed in Manitoba).
Q: What projects are eligible to apply?A: Eligible projects include those which are fully
financed: • Television Movies • Documentaries • Feature Films • Dramatic Series • Variety • Animation • Children’s Programming • Music Programming • Information Series • Digital Productions • CD-ROM ProductionsQ: Are there content requirements?A: NO, there are no Canadian or Manitoba
content requirements for the Manitoba Film and Video Production Tax Credit. Everyone is rewarded equally based on the amount of eligible Manitoba labour expenditures (for the Cost-of-Salaries Tax Credit) or the amount of eligible Manitoba expenditures (for the Cost-of-Production Tax Credit).
Q: Is there a time limit for applying for my tax credit?
A: Yes. Part A and Part B tax credit applications must be received by Manitoba Film & Music within 30 months after the end of the fiscal year in which principle photography began.
Q: Will Manitoba Film & Music prepare tax credit estimates?
A: Manitoba Film & Music will not prepare tax credit estimates. We only provide feedback on the Part A application once an applicant formally applies to our office. However, once you have read the Manitoba Film and Video Production Tax Credit Guidelines, we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Q: How do I determine the eligibility of labour expenses by budget category?
A: An Excel worksheet is available on the Manitoba Film & Music website (mbfilmmusic.ca) in the Tax Credit section. This worksheet follows an industry standard budget template, allows you to insert the relevant Manitoba labour amounts per budget line item, and indicates the eligibility of the various expenses. This worksheet is a guide only; the guidelines, legislation, and regulations will prevail.

Q: Are there any circumstances where a non-resident’s salary may be eligible for a tax credit?
A: In the event that a crew member is brought in because there is no willing, available and qualified Manitoban to fill the position, a special bonus, the deeming provision may allow the salary of the non-Manitoba resident to be “deemed” eligible for the tax credit. For deeming to apply:
It is ONLY the relevant unions and guilds who verify that there are no willing, available and qualified Manitobans to fill the positions, and then if in agreement, sign off on the deeming forms.
Once an individual has been deemed by the respective union or guild, the production must train at least one Manitoban per non-resident being deemed. The training must be approved by the relevant labour organization and Film Training Manitoba (if applicable).
Q: Is there a maximum number of positions that can be deemed?
A: No, there is no maximum number of positions that can be deemed; however, there is a cap on the total amount of non-resident salaries that will be allowed. The cap is determined by the ratio of Manitoba Trainees per Non-Manitoba
Residents and by the amount of total eligible Manitoba labour expenditures.
Amount of Training Corresponding Deeming Cap
If one (1) Manitoba resident is trained per non-resident during the course of the non-residents’ employment
Cap set at 10% of Total Eligible Manitoba labour expenditures
If two (2) Manitoba residents are trained per non-resident during the course for the non-residents’ employment
Cap set at 30% of Total Eligible Manitoba labour expenditures
Q: Which positions can be deemed?A: Below the line, technical positions can be
deemed. As well, Line Producer and Director of Photography positions are eligible for deeming.
Q: Are there positions that cannot be deemed?A: Actors, Producers, Creative Producers, Writers,
and Directors cannot be deemed. In general, positions that are above the line are not deemable.
TA X CREDIT DEEMING PROVISIONS
21
Q: Who decides which positions will be approved for deeming?
A: The unions and guilds are responsible for signing-off on all deeming requests. Manitoba Film & Music only acts as an intermediary between the production company and the labour and training organizations to ensure that the deeming paperwork is sent to the appropriate parties.
Q: Who initiates the deeming request and training discussion?
A: The Production Company MUST indicate its deeming requirements to Manitoba Film & Music and should do so PRIOR to the start of principle photography. All deeming requests must be signed off by a Manitoba related union and / or guild.
Q: How Does Deeming Work?A: All Deemed positions must be accompanied by
a valid training opportunity on the production. The Manitoba trainee can be in a different department, but there must be at least one Manitoba trainee per non-resident being deemed.
Q: At what stage of production do I need to concern myself with deeming and tax credit criteria to ensure I maximize the tax credit potential?
A: Prior to going into prep, ensure that your deeming needs are known so that you may set-up the training so as to maximize your tax credit.
If your non-resident salaries do not exceed the 10% cap, then you only need to match one (1) Manitoba trainee per non-resident.
If your non-resident salaries exceed the 10% cap, then it is in your best interest to match two (2) Manitoba trainees per non-resident so as to qualify for the 30% cap.
Q: What are the steps to deeming?A: A complete description of the deeming process is
provided in the Deeming Section of the Manitoba Film and Video Production Tax Credit Guidelines. The guidelines are available for download at mbfilmmusic.ca under the tax credit link.
Q: Who will help me with my deeming application and questions?
A: The relevant unions and Film Training Manitoba (FTM) will be responsible for training placements and approvals. Manitoba Film & Music will work with the Production Company to co-ordinate the paperwork and facilitate the deeming application process.
TA X CREDIT DEEMING PROVISIONS
22
Q: Are there advantages to working with a Manitoba company?
A: The advantages to working with a Manitoba company: • A Manitoba company that is already in
Frequent Filming Bonus status can bring an extra 10% in tax credits to the production;
• A Manitoba Producer can bring an extra 5% in tax credits through the Manitoba Producer Bonus
• A Manitoba company can apply for equity financing from Manitoba Film & Music.
• The value of local experienceQ: Do I have to worry about Copyright / Corporate Caps?A: No copyright ownership is required and there
are no corporate caps regarding the number of applications or the amount of tax credit available.
Q: What if I have to film outside of Manitoba?A: As this credit is labour-based, filming outside
of the province is allowable within the spirit and intent of the Act, recognizing that certain productions require shooting outside of Manitoba. However, keep in mind that a minimum of 25% of employee salaries paid during the fiscal year of the production must be paid to employees who are residents of
Manitoba for work performed in Manitoba (for documentaries, the work does not have to be performed in Manitoba).
Q: How does the Federal Tax Credit work with the Manitoba Tax Credit?
A: As with all other provincial tax credits, the Manitoba Tax Credit will grind the Federal Tax Credits. In other words, the Manitoba Tax Credit will be subtracted from eligible Canadian labour or eligible Canadian production costs (whichever is applicable) before the 16% or 25% federal tax credit rate is applied.
Q: Who administers the Federal Tax Credit?A: The two Federal Tax Credits, the Canadian Film
or Video Production Tax Credit (CPTC) and the Film or Video Production Services Tax Credit (PSTC), are administered through the Canadian Audio-Visual Certification Office (CAVCO). Tel: 888.433.2200 or pch.gc.ca/cavco

Manitoba has more than 40 active production companies that create original content and
that co-produce with partners from around the world. These production companies are led by seasoned service producers who have worked
with and for international studios such as Warner Bros., Fox, Universal, MGM and Sony.

Open to new experiences, languages and cultures, our production com-munity welcomes the opportunity to work with co-producers from other countries. Manitoba producers pride themselves on their capac-ity to work collaboratively with local and
out-of-province partners to adapt rapidly to a changing media production environment.

From an international film and television production assurance company to financing and legal expertise, Manitoba production service suppliers are well versed in the challenges and opportunities of Canadian and international projects.
Manitoba production industry suppliers have decades of experience working with large international studios, as well as small independent productions. Combining a
purpose built sound stage with adapted warehouses, Manitoba can comfortably accommodate multiple productions at any given time.
We also have post-production facilities and a Dolby certified recording studio. There are two dedicated film offices that offer location scouting, permit and logistics support, along with legendary financial incentives and problem solving at the speed of production.
Manitoba has a well-established infrastructure that accommodates large or micro-budget projects with ease and flexibility. The province’s 14-year-old tax credit is a stable production incentive with a proven track record and no annual cap.

Manitoba has a rich and well-preserved cultural heritage that results in usable and accessible
resources for film and television. In addition to our turn-of-the-century architecture - historical
props, clothing and cars are readily available.
Known as one of the cultural capitals of Canada, Winnipeg’s world-class arts and culture scene spans all disciplines of visual, performing and literary arts. Both the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and the Winnipeg Contemporary Dancers have acclaimed professional dance schools. A plethora of professional theatres including the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre, Prairie Theatre Exchange and Manitoba Theatre for Young People have fostered a highly-skilled actor base. Manitoba also has the greatest number
of musicians per capita than any other province in Canada.
Manitoba is an incredibly diverse province that celebrates a range of languages and ethnicities. Our vibrant Francophone and Aboriginal populations play a major role in the film and television production industry. Manitoba is home to one of the largest Aboriginal-owned production companies in Canada and the largest Francophone production company outside of Quebec.
