Abstract
In the United States, there are essentially three tax regimes when it comes to film tax credits. The United States currently does not have a federal filming credit, unlike Canada. Because of this, states have an open market to compete in which leads to a cutthroat competition. This paper will discuss the current regimes, how they work, and the benefits each has. The second half of this paper is a comparison of the most "successful" regime in Georgia to North Carolina. The conclusion focuses on how North Carolina can exploit weaknesses within the Georgia regime.
