California Film and Television Tax Credit

The California Film and Television Tax Credit is a government incentive that provides financial benefits to producers who film qualifying projects within California. It aims to boost local employment, support the state's economy, and attract high-quality productions. Eligible projects, such as movies and TV shows, can receive a percentage of their qualified production costs as a refundable or transferable tax credit. To qualify, productions must meet specific criteria, including budget size and local content requirements. This program helps make California more competitive in attracting film and TV projects amid increasing global competition.
