On July 10, 2017, House Bill 423 became law thereby amending the motion picture, digital media, and film production tax credit as outlined below:
Institutes an annual funding cap of $35 million and provides that any amount claimed in excess of such cap shall be claimed in the following year;
Extends the sunset date from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2025;
Requires the taxpayer to provide evidence that it was unsuccessful to secure comparable items within Hawaii, where goods or services are obtained from out of state; and,
Requires a taxpayer to submit a verification review prepared by a qualified CPA using state-prescribed procedures in order to obtain a credit.
The law will take effect December 31, 2018 and will apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2018.
