SB 366 - This act creates the "Show Missouri Film and Digital Media Act". This act reauthorizes a tax credit for certain expenses related to the production of qualified film production projects in this state, as defined in the act. Tax credits for such expenses under previous law expired on November 28, 2013.
For all tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, this act authorizes a tax credit equal to 20% of qualifying in-state expenses, as defined in the act, and 10% of qualifying out-of-state expenses, as defined in the act, associated with the production of a qualified film production project. An additional 5% may be awarded for both qualifying in-state and out-of-state expenses if at least 50% of the qualified film production project is filmed in Missouri.
This act shall sunset on December 31 six years from the effective date of the act, unless reauthorized by the General Assembly.
This act is substantially similar to HB 923 (2019), HB 1661 (2018), and HB 788 (2017).
