Canadian Program Certification
Guide to
Completing the Breakdown of Costs (BOC) Form for Live Action and Continuous
Action Animated Productions
1. Completion of the Breakdown of Costs (BOC) form is required whenever
non-Canadian services or post-production and laboratory costs are incurred for a
production. Refer to B. and C. below for information as to what these costs
include.
2. For productions that are not yet fully completed at the time the
certification application is filed with the Commission, applicants may use the
“committed” budget figures to complete the BOC form.
- For productions that are fully completed at the time the application is filed
with the Commission, applicants must provide the actual production costs.
- Whether an applicant uses budgeted or actual production costs, the Commission
reserves the right to require audited financial statements for the production
upon its completion. If any of the information is subsequently found to be
inaccurate or incomplete, or if the production evolves to other than what has
been presented in the application, the production may require re-evaluation which
may affect the continued certification of the production.
3. Complete only the unshaded boxes on the form, as applicable.
4. Production costs are divided into four categories: (a) Producer and Key
Creative Personnel; (b) Services; (c) Post-production and
Laboratory; and (d) Other. A further division between Canadian
and Non-Canadian costs is required for both the Services and
Post-production and laboratory categories.
The allocation of production costs is set out in Public Notice CRTC 2000-42,
dated 17 March 2000.
5. Where a production is a series, the BOC is to include the costs of
producing the entire series.
6. Where the production is a co-venture or co-production, a BOC reflecting the
total production budget must be completed, i.e. Canadian and non-Canadian
portions combined.
A. Producer and Key Creative Personnel costs (column (1) on the BOC form):
Producer
Include in column (1), the Producer and Co-producer’s remuneration and fringe
benefits, and all of their travel and living expenses.
Include in Services columns (2) and (3) as applicable, all remuneration
and fringe benefits, and all travel and living expenses, for those persons
performing a producer-related function, e.g. line producer, executive producer,
associate producer and all other personnel related to the support of the producer
function.
Key Creative Personnel
Include in column (1), all remuneration and fringe benefits, and all travel
and living expenses, for each of the Key Creative Personnel involved in the
production.
Key Creative Personnel are those functions for which points are awarded as set
out in Public Notice CRTC 2000-42. They include the Director(s); Screenwriter(s);
first and second Lead Performers (or Voices); Production Designer (or Art
Director); Director(s) of Photography (or Chief Camera Operator); Music
Composer(s); and Picture Editor(s) (or Film Editor(s) for film or Off-Line
Editor(s) for videotape productions).
Remuneration, fringe benefits, and all travel and living expenses, for all
other personnel other than Key Creative Personnel, are to be included in
the Services costs or Post-production and laboratory costs
categories as applicable.
B. Services costs (columns (2) and (3) on the BOC form):
The Services costs category includes all costs (other than excluded
costs below) that are incurred for services provided in respect of the making of
the production. This category would include, for example:
- the remuneration (including travel and living expenses and fringe benefits) of
persons occupying positions related to the producer function (other than a
Canadian producer or co-producer) (e.g. line producer, executive producer,
associate producer);
- the remuneration, fringe benefits, and all travel and living expenses, for all
other creative and technical personnel other than the key creative personnel;
- royalties paid with respect to the story rights, music rights and stock
footage, development costs, the rental of vehicles and equipment, location
expenses, office expenses, etc.;
- the completion bond.
Excluded costs include:
- costs determined by reference to the amount of income from the production;
- remuneration, fringe benefits, travel and living expenses payable to, or in
respect of, the producer(s), co-producer(s) and other key creative personnel
eligible for points as set out in A. above;
- insurance, financing, brokerage, legal and accounting fees, indirect expenses
such as corporate overhead and interim financing, contingency costs, as well as
other costs not directly related to production;
- goods purchased, such as film/videotape supplies; and
- costs relating to the post-production and laboratory stage or other costs set
out in sections C. or D. below.
Canadian versus Non-Canadian Services Costs
As a rule, the determination as to whether the travel and living expenses are
in the Canadian or non-Canadian category is based on the nationality of the
person in respect of whom they are incurred. If, during a production, expenses
are incurred to enable a Canadian to travel on a non-Canadian airline and stay in
a hotel abroad, these expenses are deemed to be in the Canadian category, since
they are incurred in respect of a Canadian citizen. However, if these same
expenses are incurred in respect of a non-Canadian, even if all the amounts are
paid to a Canadian airline and to Canadian hotels and restaurants, they are
deemed to be in the non-Canadian category, since they are incurred in respect of
a non-Canadian.
The Commission considers Canadian a person who is, at all relevant
times, a Canadian citizen as defined in the Citizenship Act, a permanent
resident as defined in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (2001),
or a Canadian-controlled corporation, as defined under sections 26 to 28 of the
Investment Canada Act.
Canadian at all relevant times means that an individual must be Canadian at
the time he or she begins his or her duties in relation to the production
and during the entire course of the filming or taping and post-production. An
individual cannot acquire permanent resident status in order to qualify as
Canadian at any point during a production; such status must be confirmed
before the individual begins engaging in any activity related to the production.
An individual acquiring permanent resident status after he or she begins engaging
in any activity related to the production will be considered a non-Canadian for
the entire production. Likewise a corporation must be a Canadian-controlled
corporation during the same time period.
In order for the cost to be considered Canadian when provided by a
Canadian Production Company, the company must incorporated and carrying on
business in Canada, have a Canadian business address, be owned and controlled by
Canadians, and have as principal business the production of film, videotape or
live programs for distribution on television or in a theatrical, industrial or
educational markets.
C. Post-production and laboratory costs (columns (4) and (5) on the BOC
form):
This category includes all costs for the post-production and laboratory work,
sound re-recording, sound and picture editing, music scoring, music editing,
titles and optical effects, etc.
It does not include:
- any costs determined by reference to the amount of income from the production;
- remuneration, fringe benefits, travel and living expenses payable to, or in
respect of, the producer(s), co-producer(s) or other key creative personnel
eligible for points as set out in A. above; or
- any costs relating to Services as set out in B. above or Other Costs
as set out in D. below.
Canadian versus non-Canadian Post-production and laboratory costs
In order for a post-production or laboratory cost to be considered “Canadian”,
it must have been incurred for post-production or laboratory services provided in
Canada by Canadians or by a Canadian company(s). All services provided by
non-Canadians, including services provided by Canadians outside Canada, are
considered “non-Canadian.”
A “Canadian” company for the purpose of post-production and laboratory
costs is defined as a company incorporated and carrying on business in Canada,
with a Canadian business address, owned and controlled by Canadians, and whose
principal business is the production of film, videotape or live programs for
distribution on television or in a theatrical, industrial or educational markets.
D. Other costs (column (6) on the BOC form):
The cost of materials and supplies (such as raw stock, videotape and magnetic
tape for the shooting of the principal photography/taping) as well as the
depreciation related to the purchase of capital equipment, etc., are to be
included in Other Costs column (6). Also included in this category are all
expenses excluded from the other categories. This would include costs not
directly related to the actual production of the program – such as insurance,
legal services, auditing, corporate overhead, interim financing and interest
fees.
Completion of the individual line items on the BOC
- The numbers and letters beside the individual line items set out below
correspond to the numbers and letters on the BOC form; e.g., expense description
for the Screenwriter 2.0 (a) below refers to line 2.0 a) on the BOC form.
- The terms "paid", "incurred", "related to", "deferrals", "payable" and “to be
incurred” are all synonymous when used in the various cost item descriptions.
- Production elements acquired at other-than-fair market value (FMV), e.g.
non-arm’s-length inter-corporate transactions, are to be reported at FMV.
- Where payment of an item is deferred, in whole or in part, enter the full
amount of the deferred expense in the appropriate expense category and indicate
the amount of the deferral. As deferred expenses are a source of financing, the
amount of the deferral must also be included in the Financing section of the
