Income taxes: credits: motion pictures.

Abstract

The Personal Income Tax Law and the Corporation Tax Law allow various credits against the taxes imposed by those laws, including motion picture credits for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2016, to be allocated by the California Film Commission on or after July 1, 2015, and before July 1, 2020, subject to a computation and ranking of applicants based on a jobs ratio. Existing law allows the credit for the taxable year in which the commission issues a credit certificate for the qualified motion picture for the applicable percentage of all qualified expenditures, as defined, paid or incurred by the qualified taxpayer in all taxable years for that qualified motion picture. Existing law limits the aggregate amount of these credits allocated in each fiscal year to $330 million, through and including the 2019–20 fiscal year. This bill would allow and extend the allocation of those credits through and including the 2024–25 fiscal year. The bill would require the commission to allocate those credits before July 1, 2025, as specified. This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
