| Can someone shed some light on the Hawaii Film Tax Credit which I understand was recently signed into law as Act 88? I work for a film production company in Oklahoma and one of the films we have in preproduction could easily be set in Hawaii if the government incentives are favorable. | |

| Hi Toby,
I'm not that familiar with the new credit myself...but you can read the statute at: http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/sessioncurrent/bills/sb2570_.htm http://hawaiifilmoffice.blogspot.com/2006/04/summary-of-film-bill.html Generally, the new law provides a refundable tax credit of 15% to 20%, depending on where the qualified production costs are incurred. Your company's project must meet the definition of a "qualified production", and have "qualified production costs" of at least $200,000 (there are many other detailed requirements/record keeping chores as you'll read). For the definition of "qualified production" and "qualified production costs", please see the statute. | |
