RESCHEDULED: FilmHawaii Seminar on Tax Incentives

** RESCHEDULED FOR THURSDAY, JUNE 8th at NOON.**

HAWAII'S TAX INCENTIVES FOR FILM, TELEVISION & DIGITAL MEDIA

This roundtable discussion will provide an informal overview of Hawaii's tax incentives for film, television, and digital media productions, including the recently passed 15-20% refundable production tax credit; the High Technology Business Investment Tax Credit, commonly known as "Act 221" or "Act 215;" and the tax exemption on royalties for performing arts products. Local filmmakers and content creators can expect to learn how to navigate these tax incentives, how to utilize Act 221 to finance their film, television, and digital media projects, and how Act 221 is different from the new 15-20% production tax credit.
