Best Tax Incentive Ever ?

Section 481 Film Finance - Get €3,300 of you tax back at no cost !!!!!!

Some people put this in place every year and reap the rewards, don't panic it's around until 2015.
It's what they call a no brainer.

  • No up front capital required, money is provided by prearranged loan facility
  • If you pay enough tax at the top rate you will receive €3,300 back into your hand
  • Very low risk, out of 149 of these deals only 3 have fallen down, (all movies, to lessen the risk investment will only be made into TV programs)
Look at the finer points and have a good think about it.
