(The Center Square) – A public hearing on the Pennsylvania Film Production Tax Credit focused on calls for its expansion to attract more projects and boost local economies, but little time was spent on the program’s transparency.
Pennsylvania operates a $70 million tax credit program to expand the state’s film industry. The tax credit can be used to offset a project’s tax liability if Pennsylvania production expenses make up at least 60% of a film’s total production expenses, according to the Department of Community and Economic Development.
