Ireland's 32% Tax Credit for Film, Television and Animation.
‘Section 481' is a tax credit, incentivising film and TV, animation and creative documentary, post production & VFX and games development in Ireland, administered by Ireland’s Department of Culture and the Revenue Commissioners (Revenue).
Ireland offers one of the most attractive VFX tax incentives in the world, providing a 32% refundable tax credit on qualifying Irish spend under its Section 481 program. This incentive applies to domestic and international productions, including VFX-only projects, with no requirement to film in Ireland.
To qualify, projects must pass a cultural test or be structured as an official co-production. Ireland offers a skilled, English-speaking workforce, world-class post-production and VFX like Screen Scene & SSVFX in EU-based business environment. The credit is transparent, well-managed by the Irish Revenue, and complements other global incentives—making Ireland a strategic and cost-effective choice for high-end VFX work.
