Tax Professional Answers
Yes, the New York State Film Tax Credit Program provides incentives to qualified production companies that produce feature films; television series; relocated television series; television pilots and television movies; and / or incur post-production costs associated with the original creation of these film productions.
Film production companies may be eligible to receive a credit of 30% of Qualified Production Costs incurred in New York State and 35% of Post-Production Costs if incurred in Upstate NY. Additional credits are available beginning in 2015 for labor expenses incurred in certain counties in Upstate New York.
Please contact me to discuss the overall application process and the optimal way in which one can design and implement a sustainable methodology for both the Film Production Credit and the Post Production Credit.
