Productions are challenged to find smart alternatives to stretch their budgets. The Georgia Entertainment Industry Investment Act grants a 30% income tax credit with 20% to qualified productions which feature films, television series, commercials and music videos, game development and animation. Feature films, television projects, music videos and video games are also eligible to receive an additional 10% tax credit for including an imbedded Georgia Entertainment Promotion in their finished product.
Film, video, broadcast and music production companies working in Georgia can also realize significant savings through the Georgia Sales & Use Tax Exemption. Qualified companies can receive an immediate point-of-purchase sales tax exemption that will save up to 8% on most below-the-line materials and service purchases, leases, or rentals.
Combine these powerful financial tools with the Georgia Film, Music & Digital Entertainment Office's knowledgeable, hands-on staff, the state's diverse locations, the convenience of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and a welcoming, pro-business climate, and you have the perfect backdrop for any production.
