Unions and Democrats Push for Federal Film Tax Incentive
California Democrats and union leaders are rallying for a federal tax incentive to boost domestic film production. The proposed bill aims to counter international competition that has drawn jobs overseas. Lawmakers are pushing for a 20%-30% transferable tax credit on U.S. labor costs. With bipartisan support, they hope to pass the measure during the upcoming lame-duck session of Congress.
