France to Provide Video Game Development Tax Credits

The French Parliament has approved tax credits for local producers of video games “with a cultural dimension”. The credits can finance up to 20 percent of a company’s production costs to a maximum of 3 million euros (close to $4 million U.S.) a year. Whether these credits will violate the E.U.’s subsidy prohibitions is still to be determined.
