Louisiana House Votes to End $150 Million Film Tax Credit

The decision to eliminate the incentive follows a broader tax reform effort aimed at reducing personal and corporate income taxes.

The Louisiana House passed the bill with an 87-12 vote, moving it to the Senate for further approval.
The tax reform package includes eliminating several tax credits, aiming to implement a flat 3% personal income tax rate.
Governor Jeff Landry's proposal seeks to make Louisiana more competitive by reducing tax burdens and cutting incentives.
Film industry advocates argue that the tax credit has significantly boosted local economies and created thousands of jobs.
If approved, the film tax credit will end by June 30, 2025, affecting future production decisions in the state.
