				concerning the application and qualification guidelines contained within the
				Georgia Entertainment Industry Investment Act (hereinafter "Act") under
				O.C.G.A. §
									48-7-40.26. There are two separate
				credits made available under the Act: the 20% "Base Tax Credit" and the 10%
				"Georgia Entertainment Promotion ("GEP") Tax Credit." Each of the two available
				tax credits requires an independent application and certification.
(2) Coordination of Agencies. The Georgia
				Department of Economic Development, (hereinafter "GDEcD"), will determine which
				projects qualify for the base tax credits authorized under the Act; will
				evaluate and certify marketing opportunities for the GEP Tax Credit; and will
				certify tax credit applications. The Georgia Department of Revenue (hereinafter
				"GDOR") is the state agency responsible for determining qualified expenditures
				and for implementing the proper application of the Film Tax Credits.
(3) Cross-Reference. This rule shall be
				construed in harmony with the Rules of the Georgia Department of Revenue,
				Income Tax Division, Chapter 560-7-8, Returns and Collections, Rule

Current through Rules and Regulations filed through June 27, 2024
(1) The Base Tax Credit is available to all
				qualified and certified Projects.
(2) Production Companies that act as a
				conduit to enable other production companies' projects to qualify for the Film
				Tax Credit that would not otherwise be eligible on their own will not be
				certified for Film Tax Credits. Work-for-hire service companies, including
				postproduction houses, catering companies, equipment rental houses, and motion
				picture laboratories are not eligible to receive the Film Tax Credit, but the
				Production Companies employing them may include these expenditures as part of
				their project expenses.
(3)
				Qualified Interactive Entertainment Production Companies designing platforms
				for outside game developers are not eligible for the Film Tax Credit; however,
				the studio that buys these platforms from a Georgia vendor may claim them as an
				expense toward the production of an Interactive Entertainment
				project.
(4) Expenditures incurred
				in Georgia for postproduction are qualified only on the portion of the project
				that was shot, recorded, or originally created in the state. Postproduction of
				footage shot outside the state is not a qualified production expenditure under
				O.C.G.A. §
									48-7-40.26.
(5) Expenditures for the Development phase of
				projects do not qualify for the Film Tax Credit. Projects must have entered
				'Preproduction' in order for expenditures to qualify for the Film Tax

				Advertisements are not eligible for the GEP Tax Credit.

				Form showing proof of fulfillment for the GEP Logo or agreed upon alternative

Current through Rules and Regulations filed through June 27, 2024
(1) If the authorized applicant's Completed
				Application for Base Tax Credit is denied by GDEcD, the Base Certification
				Letter is retracted by GDEcD, or if GDEcD fails to provide the applicant with a
				certification decision within the sixty (60) day period following submission of
				a Completed Application, the applicant shall have the right to appeal the
				denial, retraction, or failure of certification of the Base Tax Credit.
				Incomplete Base Tax Credit applications or Base Tax Credit applications that
				have been voluntarily withdrawn by the applicant prior to a decision from GDEcD
				are not eligible to appeal. An Applicant may appeal by sending a letter along
				with supporting documentation outlining applicant's argument as to why the
				denial, retraction, or failure to certify was improper, to the General Counsel,
				Georgia Department of Economic Development, 75 Fifth Street, NW, Suite 1200,

				the Base Tax Credit certification denial or retraction letter by GDEcD, or
				within ninety (90) days from the submission of a Base Tax Credit Application
				from which no certification decision was issued. Failure to request an appeal
				within thirty (30) days or ninety (90) days, as applicable, will finalize the
				denial decision on the Base Tax Credit, and applicant may not reapply for the
				same project.
(2) Upon receipt of a
				timely letter of appeal, the General Counsel will address the merits of the
				Base Tax Credit appeal and the nature of the dispute with the Commissioner of
				GDEcD, who will make the final decision. GDEcD shall issue a final opinion and
				order on the appeal within sixty (60) days of receipt of a timely
				appeal.
(3) Any further appeals of
				the Base Tax Credit certification decision must be made before the Office of
				State Administrative Hearings. In the event an applicant pursues further appeal
				of the Base Tax Credit decision to the Office of State Administrative Hearings,
				and GDEcD prevails on such an appeal, then applicant may be responsible for the
				payment of any fees and costs charged by the Office of State Administrative
				Hearings in connection with the appeal.
