Work for Hire definition

Work for Hire means an arrangement whereby one Production Company contracts with another Production Company to engage in qualified production activities pursuant to a production services agreement. Merely financing or providing funding to a Production Company does not make the financing/funding company the “hiring” company for purposes of the entertainment tax credit statute. In the instance of co-productions, both companies must provide a written agreement to GDEcD as to which party will be entitled to earn and claim the tax credit. In the instance of a work-for-hire, the hired company will not be eligible for the Film Tax Credit.
