California Legislators Approve $750 Million Film Tax Credit

California Legislators Approve 0 Million Film Tax Credit
SHARE

California legislators have recently made a significant decision to expand the state’s tax credit for film and TV production, a move that has been strongly supported by Governor Gavin Newsom. The approval to increase the cap on the program from $330 million annually to $750 million was met with overwhelming support from both the Assembly and the Senate. The decision was made as part of a comprehensive $321 billion budget deal that was finalized earlier in the week.

This expansion of the tax credit program follows extensive lobbying efforts from entertainment unions and the Motion Picture Association, who argued that it was necessary to keep California competitive with other states. Rebecca Rhine, president of the Entertainment Union Coalition, played a pivotal role in advocating for the increase, leading lobbying trips to Sacramento and mobilizing members to send letters to lawmakers.

The support for the expansion of the tax credit program is particularly significant given the challenging budget year California has faced, with a $12 billion deficit that needed to be addressed. Testimony from unemployed crew members and the dedication of industry professionals played a crucial role in securing the increase, demonstrating the impact of grassroots activism on government decisions.

While California’s tax credit for film and TV production has now been expanded, some industry insiders believe that more needs to be done to compete with other countries like the U.K. and Canada. The recent increase is expected to create thousands of production jobs, but there are calls for a federal tax incentive to level the playing field in the global market.

In addition to the expansion of the tax credit program, a separate bill, AB 1138, is in the works to include animation and sitcoms in the program and raise the base credit from 20% to 35% of eligible expenses. This bill is anticipated to be approved in the coming days, further enhancing California’s attractiveness to film and TV productions.

The California Production Coalition, a group representing soundstage owners and prop houses in collaboration with the Motion Picture Association, has praised the decision to expand the tax credit program. They believe that this increase in funding is crucial for California to regain its position in the film and television production landscape, emphasizing the importance of continuous improvement in the program to support the industry’s growth.

Overall, the expansion of California’s tax credit for film and TV production marks a significant step towards revitalizing the state’s entertainment industry and securing its competitiveness on a global scale. The support from lawmakers, industry professionals, and advocacy groups underscores the importance of government intervention in sustaining and protecting jobs in the entertainment sector.
