Rangemore/Flick Me identifies additional UK tax relief for film projects

MIAMI BEACH, FL, March 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Auctions International Inc. ("Auctions") (OTCPINK: AUCI) announces that Rangemore Productions Corp. ("Rangemore") and its new joint venture partner Flick Me Productions Limited ("Flick Me") has identified and will be utilizing the UK Film Tax Credit Program to subsidize its independently produced film projects.

The Film Tax Credit Program works independently of the HMRC Enterprise Investment Scheme, which was previously announced. The UK Film Tax Credit Program is a TAX REFUND issued by HMRC directly to the producer of a film project. Each film project can apply for a tax refund for up to a total of 25% of approved expenditures incurred in its development and production which can then be passed on to the initial investors or reinvested into future projects. This is different from the HMRC Enterprise Investment Scheme which allows Flick Me to issue a 30% tax credit to investors for any cash investment made into one of its independent films. The HMRC Enterprise Investment Scheme will be used to raise the funds necessary to bring the film projects into production while the UK Film Tax Credit will be filed to get to a 25% refund of approved expenditures.

"The combination of the ability to issue a 30% tax credit for investment dollars combined with up to 25% tax refund of expenditures makes an investment into any one of Flick Me's  productions very attractive" stated Andrew McLaughlin, President & CEO of Rangemore.  "Rangemore will benefit by being able to participate in the royalties under any partnership arrangement we make in individual Flick Me Production's projects as well as providing the studio and production facilities to those projects" continued Mr. McLaughlin.
