Yukon

25–40% Base Rate +16% federal on labour combined with federal
Production Spend Rebate Last updated: April 2026

Vast subarctic wilderness, northern lights, and gold rush history — one of the most visually dramatic landscapes on earth.

Yukon's Film Incentive Program provides a 25% base rebate on approved Yukon production spend, with bonuses that can push the rate to 40%. Additional 2% for each Yukon resident in key positions beyond the minimum 3 (up to +10%), plus 5% for majority Yukon ownership. Extended summer daylight is a production advantage; winter conditions are a planning consideration.

Post-Production & VFX Not Standalone

No — Yukon's rebate is tied to production activity in the territory. Limited post-production infrastructure means most post happens elsewhere.

Minimum Spend

No minimum spend threshold specified. Must have minimum 3 Yukoners in key positions.

VFX Rate

No separate VFX bonus. Post-production expenditures in Yukon qualify under the base 25% rate.

Yukon's limited infrastructure means most post-production happens in larger centres. The incentive is best suited for productions shooting on location. Predevelopment fund available: up to $15,000 (covers 75% of eligible predevelopment costs).
