Entertainment Tax Incentives

Alcon Entertainment ("The Blind Side"),  Columbia Pictures ("Zombieland"), Walt Disney Co. ("The Last Song") and Warner Brothers ("Life As We Know It") have filmed in Georgia due to the state’s aggressive entertainment tax incentives.

Did You Know?

Without tourism-related tax revenues, every household in the state would pay about $505 in additional taxes, on average.

 

The variety of industries that call Georgia home continues to widen, outpacing the expansion of business sectors seen in many other states. Most recently, substantial growth in the biosciences industry has added an exciting dimension to the state’s already-impressive high-tech market, which is fostered by dynamic research universities and private-public partnerships, statewide.

Still, the mainstay industries of Georgia – automotive, agriculture, food processing, tourism, metal fabrication and plastics – continue to flourish. Whether domestically or internationally, these industries demonstrate the state’s supportive foundation for sustained business success.

Whatever industry you’re in, look to Georgia as the place to be. We have a proven track record for helping you compete on any scale and on any front.
