Film tax credit, once an obscure policy in the tax landscape, has now found itself to be a touted and savvy cost-saving tax strategy. And in Georgia, this lucrative policy has been an effective catalyst in luring blockbuster productions, reshaping the state's economy, and creating high-paying jobs, essentially turning the region into a global contender for film and television work.
At the helm of this transformation is State Tax Incentives and founder, Chrissie Merrill, who has leveraged her vast experience in film tax incentives to build a company that now represents global names. Over the last decade, Merrill has worked on both the buy and sell sides of the market, bridging the gap between production companies with credits to sell and corporate buyers seeking to lower their state tax bill.
