Can you stack Alberta Film and Television Tax Credit (FTTC) and Alberta Made Production Grant (AMPG)?
Yes. Alberta Film and Television Tax Credit (FTTC) and Alberta Made Production Grant (AMPG) can be combined. They fund different things, so the trick is simple: apply to each separately and never claim the same dollar twice. Together they reach up to $125K+ in potential value.
Alberta Film and Television Tax Credit (FTTC)
A refundable Alberta tax credit on eligible production costs for corporations producing films, television series, and other screen-based content in the province. Productions can apply for either a 22% or a 30% rate, with the higher rate available for Alberta-owned projects, treaty co-productions, and rural or remote filming. Total production costs must be at least $499,999.
Alberta Made Production Grant (AMPG)
Part of the Alberta Media Fund, this grant supports smaller-budget Alberta screen productions and helps producers manage cash flow through an interim payment. It covers 25% of eligible Alberta production costs to a maximum of $125,000, with an optional top-up of up to $35,000 for on-set training and mentorship. The program is competitive with limited funding.
How to stack them
- 01Confirm you meet each program's eligibility on its own. Alberta Film and Television Tax Credit (FTTC) and Alberta Made Production Grant (AMPG) are assessed separately.
- 02Apply to each program through its own application. There is no combined form.
- 03Allocate distinct costs to each program. You cannot claim the same dollar of expense under both, but you can fund different parts of the same project.
- 04Track both deadlines and keep the paperwork separated, so each claim stands on its own.
Stacking rules vary by program and change over time. Confirm the current rules with each program, or take the quiz and we will flag the combinations you qualify for.
