Heads or tails: spoiled for choice?
Tax Credit vs. Investment Obligation
In the coalition agreement of the traffic light government, both models are equivalent. There are differences: Are tax incentive models the push the film industry needs or should the major streaming platforms be obliged to invest more in the German film market? Or is the solution perhaps somewhere in the middle? In short keynote speeches, Anne Baumgärtel from Deloitte and Klaus Goldhammer from Goldmedia provide an insight into the two models. While Baumgärtel discusses the advantages of the tax credits model, Goldhammer presents the results of his “platform study”, which supports the introduction of an investment obligation. Katharina Hiersemenzel (Constantin Film), Christian Sommer (Motion Picture Association) and Malte Grunert (Amusement Park Films) will then discuss. Ulrich Höcherl, publisher and editor-in-chief of Blickpunkt:Film (media partner), will moderate the event.
