INCENTIVES / TAX CREDITS

INCENTIVES/TAX CREDITS FOR PRODUCTION COMPANIES

An incentive is a financial or non-financial factor that motivates a particular action or choice of alternatives. In the case of entertainment production companies, tax credits offered by States/Countries will often be the deciding factor in where a film will be shot. Film commissions actively promote their locations throughout the world using tax credits as a key enticement for helping the decision process, as well as other types of incentives including scenery, location crew and permit ease, shooting for the lowest movie budgets and the highest quality production value.
