TAX INCENTIVES

Upload Films is an experienced entity in the Louisiana film world. We know how to navigate the tax process to ensure your film earns all available incentives.

 

Louisiana offers a 30% transferable incentive for total in-state expenditures related to the production of a motion picture. An additional 5% labor incentive can be earned on the payroll of Louisiana residents that are employed by a state certified motion picture production. The incentives are fully transferable and Louisiana has no limit to the amount of incentives that can be earned by a single production. Only money spent on your production costs within the borders of the state of Louisiana will qualify for the 30% incentive. That includes all services that are performed in Louisiana from residents and non-residents alike. Now, you have the option to transfer credits (incentives) to the state for .85 on the dollar, and we will send you a check immediately. For specific examples of acceptable production expenditures, see Act 478.
