Revenue has published a new Tax and Duty Manual providing guidance on the operation of the digital games tax credit, as provided for in section 481A TCA 1997 and the Digital Games Regulations 2022.
The aim of the measure is to provide an incentive to digital games developers to produce digital games that contribute to the promotion and expression of Irish and European culture. The relief is a corporation tax credit and it may be claimed by digital games development companies.
The relief is available from 22 November 2022 in respect of certain expenditure incurred by digital games development companies on the development of eligible digital games provided certain conditions are met.
