Music Nova Scotia: Stephen McNeil

Stephen McNeil: A promise to spend $750,000 annually for a new sound recording tax credit would help attract companies and artists from across Canada to work in the province, Liberal Leader Stephen McNeil said, according to CTV. "We can grow this industry further and ensure more of the economic value and employment created by our musicians will remain in our province," he McNeil, adding that the idea follows up on one first proposed by Music Nova Scotia in 2002 and HALIFAX -- The Nova Scotia Liberals highlighted their promise to offer tax credits to the sound recording industry while the NDP said their commitment to have family purchases exempt from the harmonized sales tax would be expanded as the election campaign entered its final week Tuesday. Recording companies would get a 20-per-cent tax credit for money spent recording emerging Canadian artists, but the work would have to be done in Nova Scotia for artists to be eligible, McNeil said.
