NZSPR: Updated Criteria for New Zealand Productions

Following Minister Goldsmith’s announcement on 2 July 2024, a minor change has been made to the New Zealand Screen Production Rebate Criteria for New Zealand Productions.

• Effective from 1 July 2024, scripted series with minimum Qualifying New Zealand Production Expenditure (QNZPE) of NZ$10 million per season will not be subject to the $500,000 per hour requirement.
• The existing requirement for scripted series to have a minimum QNZPE of $1 million total and $500,000 per hour will remain in place for those with QNZPE under $10 million per season.

All other aspects of the Criteria dated 31 August 2023 will remain in place. An overview can be found here: https://www.nzfilm.co.nz/incentives-co-productions/nzspg-nz
