No one knows tax incentive regulations better than our team of incentives experts. In fact, several of them personally helped write many of the existing state tax credit and incentive plans for the entertainment industry. Now, they continue to work closely with state legislatures and film commissions to develop new production incentives or improve existing programs. They also publish the industry-standard Guide to U.S. Production Incentives every quarter, as well as monthly updates and frequent alerts.

The Ease Incentives Team will help you:

  • Sort through rules and regulations about incentive types, eligible projects, minimums, and more so you can maximize cash rebates, tax credits, and other incentives by project.
  • Use pre-defined templates to track qualified spending.
  • Negotiate the entire incentives process—from choosing a location and filing an application to getting the money at project’s end.
  • Prepare an estimate of the expected rebate or credits for a given state.
  • Summarize all qualified expenses, plus provide suggestions on vendors for production insurance, completion bonds, production services, and financing.
