Eligible Canadian production: obtain CAVCO certificates and coordinate the CRA tax credit claim
Verify the corporation and content, secure chain of title and Canadian points, track deadlines, file costs and retain certificates.
Opening a CAVCO file does not automatically extend tax deadlines. Contracts, screen credits and final versions must remain consistent.
Confirm the scope
Confirm a taxable Canadian production company, eligible genre, copyright ownership and production control.
Prepare the information
Document key personnel, points, expenses, financing, chain of title, dates and final content without conflicting commitments.
Complete the process
Create the CAVCO account, choose Part A, B or combined filing and upload forms, costs and fees on time.
Keep follow-up records
Answer analysts, obtain the certificate and coordinate the T2 tax form while retaining originals for six years.
