Unlock the Power of the Kentucky Film Industry Tax Credit with Hatfield Media
The Kentucky Film Industry Tax Credit is a highly competitive incentive program designed to attract film, television, and digital media productions to the Bluegrass State. This credit offers eligible productions a significant rebate on qualified expenditures, making Kentucky an attractive destination for producers and companies looking to bring their projects to life. As a full-service marketing agency, Hatfield Media has worked with many production companies outside of our state to take advantage of the financial benefits of this program.
What is the Kentucky Film Industry Tax Credit?
The Kentucky Film Industry Tax Credit provides a refundable tax credit of up to 30% on qualified expenditures for films, television shows, and digital media productions. This credit can be applied to a wide range of production-related expenses, including talent fees, equipment rentals, location fees, and more. With an annual cap of $75,000,000 for the program, many producers can take advantage of this generous incentive to offset production costs and maximize their budget.
How to Apply for the Kentucky Film Industry Tax Credit
To apply for the Kentucky Film Industry Tax Credit, producers must submit an application to the Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet prior to the start of production. The application process requires detailed documentation of production plans, budgets, and timelines. Once approved, productions must meet specific requirements and guidelines to ensure compliance with the program.
