Application Window for TV Projects:
Non-Transferable Tax Credits
2. Recurring TV Projects ONLY
Recurring Series are TV series, Relocating TV series in their second season in California, or series from pilots that have previously received a Credit Allocation Letter.
NOTE
: Due to the success of Program 2.0 in attracting television production to California, the California Film Commission (CFC) will not
be accepting applications for any n
ew TV Series, TV Pilots, MOWs, or Mini-series during the May application window in order to accommodate the anticipated recurring TV applications. Funds are available for Relocating TV series.
Program 2.0 mandates the CFC to give first priority for available credits to recurring projects that have previously received a credit allocation. Priority is determined by the year of the original application with the oldest projects having 1st priority*. If further prioritization is necessary, the applications will be ranked according to the Jobs Ratios in the most current applications.
The CFC will make every effort to notify applicants if they will receive a reservation of tax credits by June 16, 2017. Credit Allocation Letters will not be issued until July 1, 2017. Any qualified expenditures prior to July 1, 2017 do not qualify.
* For applications received on or after January 2016, priority is determined by the
fiscal year of the original credit allocation
.
_________________________________________________________
Applications are ranked within categories (TV Project vs. other TV Projects; Relocating TV vs. other Relocating TV) based upon their
"jobs ratio"
score.
Applicants are measured against their specific applicant pool and as such, each jobs ratio minimum is specific to those types of productions during a specific allocation period.
Along with detailed information about the
jobs ratio ranking process available on the CFC website, a jobs ratio
calculator is also available to assist applicants in determining Jobs Ratio.
