Competitive Tax Incentives
New Jersey's Film and Digital Media Tax Credit Program, extended through 2049, offers one of the nation's most competitive long-term production incentive programs. New Jersey is rapidly emerging as one of the fastest-growing production hubs globally.
New Jersey film tax credits are transferable, allowing productions to monetize credits through a sale or transfer to third parties.
Transferable tax credit on qualified film production expenses, one of the highest rates available on the East Coast. Funded through 2049, providing long-term stability for productions of any scale.
New Jersey's production economy has generated over $833 million in spending and created 30,000+ jobs, with year-over-year growth driven by major studio commitments.
New Jersey does not impose a fixed per-project cap on standard film tax credits. Awards are subject to the applicable statewide annual program allocation and availability of credits.
To qualify, a film production must generally either incur at least 60% of total film production expenses, excluding post-production costs, in New Jersey through authorized New Jersey vendors, or incur more than $1 million in qualified New Jersey production expenses per production.
New Jersey offers a remarkable range of landscapes — from mountaintop overlooks and quiet lakeshores to charming main streets, rustic farms, and urban corridors that can double for New York City, every type of backdrop is just minutes apart.
