Film Tax Credits
The Cherrytree Group has developed a practice area that applies for, brokers and syndicates film tax credits in Massachusetts. Massachusetts has a very competitive film tax incentive program for motion pictures that are produced here.
As a film production company, you may be eligible for the following:

- Transferable 25% Payroll Credit
- Transferable 25% Production Expense Credit
Eligible Productions:
- Feature-length film, video, or digital media project (narrative or documentary).
- TV series

All of the above must be made in Massachusetts to be seen in the theater, on television or as a television pilot in order to qualify.
Other things you need to know:
Tax liability is credited to the company’s personal income or corporate excise tax liability.
The Tax credits may be transferred or refunded by the state for 90% of their value.
If the tax credits are transferred they can be carried forward 5 years.
