Film & Media Tax Credit
Category: State Incentives
Indiana’s Film and Media Tax Credit offers an income tax credit up to 30%, that can be applied to offset certain production expenses. Eligible productions include feature length films, including independent or studio production, or a documentary; a television episodic series, program, or feature; music productions; digital media productions that are intended for reasonable commercial exploitation.
The credit offers a 20% base incentive on qualified expenditures, 5% additional incentive for hiring our local talent and a 5% additional incentive when you include Indiana branding in your final project.
The credit is available to qualified media productions that incur qualified production expenses. Applications will be evaluated by the IEDC on their individual merits and only those projects that the IEDC expects to have a positive return on investment will be considered. At a minimum, projects must be financially viable, have positive economic ramifications for the state and must be completed within two years of being approved.
