Time to celebrate!
After a year-long campaign by Florida’s Film, Television and Digital/Interactive Media industries, professionals, supporters and associations, the Florida Legislature today passed the forward-looking and comprehensive “Jobs for Florida” bill (SB 1752, Economic Development).
The bill provides for $242 million in transferable tax credits which will lead to over $1.2 Billion in direct spending in Florida over the next 5 years by digital and interactive media, film and television productions in our state.
The annual allocations of tax credits are: $53.5M in 2010-11; $74.5M in 2011-12; and $38M each year for the subsequent three years (’12-’13, ’13-’14 and ’14-’15 ), with base incentives of 20% for major digital and interactive media, film and TV projects over $625K, as well as 20% for Emerging and Independent Media projects of between $100K and $625K in qualified expenditures.
Information about applying for these incentives (starting June 7th, first come, first served) can be found below in the release issued by the Governor’s Office of Film and Entertainment, and on their website at: www.FilmInFlorida.com
