Stacking

Can you stack Yukon Location Incentive Program and Yukon Media Production Fund?

Yes. Yukon Location Incentive Program and Yukon Media Production Fund 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 $515K+ in potential value.

01/Incentive

Yukon Location Incentive Program

Up to 25% of Yukon below-the-line spend, plus travel rebate up to $15,000 and training rebate

This program pays cash rebates to film and TV production companies that shoot on location in Yukon and hire local crew. It covers travel costs to Whitehorse, a share of money spent on Yukon residents and businesses, and a portion of wages for on-set training of Yukoners. Productions apply for pre-approval before filming.

Who qualifies: incorporated; Yukon; Creative & Media
02/Grant

Yukon Media Production Fund

25% to 40% of Yukon spend; separate Film Production Fund offers up to $500,000 per project

This fund supports Yukon companies producing professional film, television, or digital media projects. The rebate is calculated as a share of money spent in Yukon, with the rate rising when more Yukon residents fill key roles and when the company has Yukon ownership. Applicants need a minimum of three Yukoners in senior production positions.

Who qualifies: incorporated; Yukon; Creative & Media

How to stack them

  1. 01Confirm you meet each program's eligibility on its own. Yukon Location Incentive Program and Yukon Media Production Fund are assessed separately.
  2. 02Apply to each program through its own application. There is no combined form.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
