Bill Summary
Amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), entitled "An act relating to tax reform and State taxation by codifying and enumerating certain subjects of taxation and imposing taxes thereon; providing procedures for the payment, collection, administration and enforcement thereof; providing for tax credits in certain cases; conferring powers and imposing duties upon the Department of Revenue, certain employers, fiduciaries, individuals, persons, corporations and other entities; prescribing crimes, offenses and penalties," in entertainment production tax credit, further providing for limitations.
AI Summary
This bill increases the annual cap on entertainment production tax credits in Pennsylvania from $100 million to $125 million, starting in fiscal year 2025. The tax credits are designed to incentivize film and entertainment production in the state by allowing production companies to offset their tax liability. The bill also maintains existing provisions that allow the Department of Revenue flexibility in allocating tax credits across multiple fiscal years, specifically permitting them to award up to 30% of the next year's available credits, 20% of credits for the second successive year, and 10% of credits for the third successive year. The amendment aims to provide more financial support and attract more entertainment productions to the state by increasing the total available tax credit amount. The bill will take effect immediately, but the new $125 million cap will only apply to fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2025.
