Bill Text

Kentucky HB708 establishes a tiered system of tax incentives for economic development projects, particularly targeting film and entertainment.

Kentucky HB708 creates a tax incentive program for economic development projects, with a focus on film and entertainment productions. The bill categorizes counties into four tiers based on unemployment rates and population rankings, offering varying levels of tax credits for job creation and investment. Enhanced incentive counties, identified by higher unemployment rates and lower population rankings, receive the highest incentives. Eligible companies can receive tax credits for qualifying expenditures and payroll, with specific minimums depending on the type of production and county tier.
