Arizona this week enacted the Arizona Motion Picture Production Program, an annual film and TV tax incentive that will offer qualified productions up to $75 million a year in 2023, $100,000 in 2024, and $125,000 in 2025 and thereafter.House Bill 2156, which will run through 2043, passed the state’s legislature last month.
Gov. Doug Ducey on Wednesday allowed the bill to become law without signing it.The original language called for $150,000 in annual incentives for feature films, episodic series or commercials in the state.
That was reduced after the bill stalled in the state Senate.Under the new structure, productions that spend up to $10 million can get 15% tax credit, with productions spending $10 million-$35 million eligible for 17.5%.
For productions over $35 million, it’s 20%. The law also calls for an additional 2.5% for a production company’s production labor costs related to positions held by Arizona residents.The new program comes after a previous state program in 2005 lost money in its first year, according to a report in the AZ Mirror.
