Broadly speaking, the 2021 changes can be identified in three groups:

1. The Manitoba IDM Tax Credit is now permanent with no sunset clause; 
2. Program guideline changes that allow for a broader range of eligible product development activities;
3. Administrative changes that relate to how the MIDMTC is implemented on a practical level.

One of the key pillars in the support of the IDM sector is the Manitoba Interactive Digital Media Tax Credit program (MIDMTC), a fully refundable corporate tax credit.

Companies can use the tax credit to grow their teams, as working capital or reinvest the revenue into company development. Accordingly, the MIDMTC can help companies grow their businesses and leverage other sources of revenue. Currently, the tax credit is only applicable to a portion of the IDM industry. 

NMM will continue working closely with industry to make the tax credit reflective of the full IDM industry, and that it continuously adapts to the evolving economic landscape.
