Launch of OMDC’s Online Application Portal

A note from the Ontario Media Development Corporation:

OMDC is digitally transforming the way we do business and making it easier for you, our clients to apply for tax credits and to our programs by going green in 2010-11 with a paperless, secure Online Application Portal (OAP).
 
Now, you will be able to apply online (including uploading and storing corporate documents), track the status of your applications and communicate with OMDC regarding your applications through the OAP.

Important information:
 
OAP registration and creation of corporate profiles is available now for all applicants.
·         Ontario Sound Recording Tax Credit (OSRTC), Ontario Book Publishing Tax Credit (OBPTC) and Ontario Interactive Digital Media Tax Credit (OIDMTC) applications are now being accepted online through the OAP.
·         Ontario Film and Television Tax Credit (OFTTC), Ontario Production Services Tax Credit (OPSTC) and Ontario Computer Animation and Special Effects tax credit (OCASE) applications will be accepted online through the OAP as of March 22nd.
Applicants to Industry Development Programs will apply online through the OAP as those programs roll out throughout the year.
 
We hope you take the time to get familiar with the OAP by filling out your corporate profile.
