CHARLESTON, WV (AP) — Filming on location in West
Virginia might bring in fewer tax credits under legislation advancing
this session.
The House of Delegates passed a bill Friday that
would cut the maximum credits offered by the Film Industry Investment
Act from $10 million to $5 million.
The House Judiciary Committee
amended the bill earlier to reduce the credit's value from 27 percent to
21 percent. But it still offers film productions an extra 4 percent if
they hire locals.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin proposed the measure.
Revenue officials say film productions have never claimed more than $2
million in credits in any one year.
The West Virginia Film Office
has approved $7.6 million in credits to date. While approving several
productions, it recently denied credits to the MTV reality show
"Buckwild."
