Tax Incentives
Increase the ROI on your project—film in a tax incentive state! Tax incentives are intended to spur economic growth that would not have otherwise occurred. The availability of film tax incentives play a major role when deciding in which state (or country) a project will be produced. Most states and some countries offer some form of tax incentives for motion picture and television productions. However, learning about each state or county’s incentive is time consuming to say the least. We can help you navigate through the tedious process - from research and submitting the approval application to obtaining the tax incentive.
Please check each jurisdiction for the most up-to-date information on film tax incentives. Nothing presented here is intended to be tax advice and information may not be current.
