Beyond’s Taboo appeal discontinued

The court appeal by Beyond Productions regarding the level of significant local content to acquire the Producer Offset for their production Taboo, has been discontinued, it has been announced by a statement from Screen Australia.

Taboo was the first production to be denied by Screen Australia and the tax authority on the grounds of lacking significant Australian material. They were also the first to appeal the ruling in both the Administrative Appeals Tribunal and the Federal Court.

An agreement was reached between the two parties but remains confidential.
