Why?
Because film production in this context is primarily an economic activity with measurable financial effects. It is well documented that for every krone the state reimburses to Norwegian and international film and TV productions carried out in Norway, NOK 4.7 is returned to Norwegian society through increased activity in other sectors.
Of this amount, at least NOK 1.9 goes directly back to the state treasury in the form of VAT, taxes, and duties.
A strengthened film incentive scheme is therefore not a special measure for the film industry, but a targeted instrument of industrial policy.
