Digital Games Tax Offset

On Monday 21 March 2022, Treasury released the draft Digital Games Tax Offset (DGTO) legislation for comment and consultation. The DGTO is a refundable tax offset of an amount equal to 30% of a company's qualifying Australian development expenditure on completing a new digital game, porting a completed digital game to a new platform or ongoing development of completed digital games during an income year. The maximum tax offset available to a company is $20 million per year.
