MIAMI BEACH, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 28, 2014 / Cre8tive Works, Inc. ("Cre8tive"
(FILM) today announced details of its unique financing model designed to provide faster, higher and more risk-averse returns from its film projects by taking full advantage of British Columbia's Production Services Tax Credit (PSTC). The Production Services Tax Credit (PSTC) is a refundable corporate income tax credit allowing production corporations to claim a large percentage of the labor costs incurred in British Columbia while making film, television, digital animation or visual effects productions. The tax credit is not subject to any Canadian content requirements and is available to either Canadian or international productions as long as they are produced in British Columbia . Credits from the PSTC are applied to reduce tax payable and any remaining balance is paid directly back to the corporation in cash. There is no limit on the amount of PSTC that may be claimed on a particular production from any production company including a corporation or group of corporations. The following slide in Cre8tive Work's Investor Presentation clearly illustrates how the Company collects the PSTC tax credit from film and entertainment projects. Image:

CEO of Cre8tive Works , Andrew McLaughlin , commented, " Cre8tive Works believes it is very important that our shareholders and the investment community fully understand the Company's business model as it promotes faster, higher and more secure financial returns through the use of the British Columbia's PSTC Tax Credit. Due to the fact that this tax credit provides a significant production refund typically in the range of 40 to 50% of the total spend and is paid in cash, Cre8tive Works is able to recoup a large percentage of its investment usually within the first year of production." "With most or all of our investment recovered from the PSTC Tax Credit, all net revenues from any film we invest in will be entirely or almost entirely profit for the project. This provides us with guaranteed revenue from the tax credit in a timely manner completely independent of the film's financial success and release date. This is a tremendous asset to Cre8tive Works that allows the Company to invest in more projects because the tax credit mitigates our financial risk therefore we expect to steadily increase our revenues and shareholder value moving forward," concluded Mr. McLaughlin .
