Our approach
We tailor tax and audit strategies with precision, empowering screen and film clients to unlock funding, offsets, and creative freedom.
Navigating Australia’s financial and compliance landscape can be complex—but for screen and film productions, we make it seamless. With decades of experience and deep regulatory insight, we deliver end-to-end tax compliance and audit services tailored to the unique needs of the industry.
From QAPE applications and tax incentives to grant audits and financial reporting, we guide productions through every step with precision and care. Because no two productions are alike, our support is bespoke—helping filmmakers stay financially sharp, fully compliant, and free to focus on what they do best… creating.

Tax Compliance
We provide specialised tax support for the film and screen industry, including setting up and deregistering Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), preparing and lodging company tax returns, managing quarterly BAS obligations, and handling individual tax returns for related parties. Our services ensure compliance, efficiency, and clarity so productions can stay focused on creativity while we take care of the numbers.
Producer Offset
The Producer Offset is one of Australia’s most valuable tax incentives, offering substantial rebates for eligible film productions. At Modoras, we specialise in audit services tailored to the specific requirements of Producer Offset legislation. We work closely with filmmakers to streamline the rebate process, minimise delays, and ensure your production receives its entitlements efficiently, accurately, and confidently.
Location Offset
In a competitive global market, Australia’s Location Offset offers a powerful tax incentive for large-budget film and television projects shot locally and available to both Australian and foreign companies. Our dedicated film audit team provides expert guidance to navigate the complex audit requirements, ensuring a smooth, delay-free process from start to finish.
State and Federal Post, <br /> Digital and Visual Effects (PDV) Offsets
Australia’s PDV Offset is a vital tax incentive supporting the creative and technical brilliance of post, digital, and visual effects work. Available to eligible productions, it rewards investment in the artistry that brings stories to life. Our audit team understands the intricacies of both State and Federal PDV requirements, offering expert guidance to navigate audits smoothly and avoid costly delays.
QAPE Opinions
Film and TV productions require significant capital which is often a mix of investor funding and debt financing. As part of the financing process, a QAPE Opinion is essential: an independent assessment of a production’s estimated Qualifying Australian Production Expenditure. Required by both financiers and government agencies, our team brings deep expertise and insight to issue QAPE Opinions that support eligibility, unlock funding, and help bring creative visions to life.
