New House Bills aim to bring back tax credits for film, television, digital media production in Michigan

DETROIT – State Rep. Robert Wittenberg, introduced Thursday two House Bills that would create new tax credits for media production in Michigan. House Bills 6504 and 6505 would create a two-tiered tax credit that provides incentives for Michigan-produced commercials as well as film, television and streaming productions. “This is about Michigan jobs,” Wittenberg said. The House Bills would create similar incentives to the Michigan Film and Digital Media Incentive, which was signed into law in 2008 by then-Gov. More information on the potential benefits of a new Michigan film tax credit can be found on the Michigan Film Industry Association’s official website here.
