The film industry plays a key role in the economy and drives a huge network of individuals, vendors, artists, creators, producers, and visionaries together to create the images and tell the stories that compose the very fabric of our culture. Louisiana has incredible resources, in terms of locations and talent, that span an incredibly diverse geographical and cultural area.

LOUISIANA Tax Credits

As-Of: June 2026 | Tax Credit: 25-40% refundable (ACT 44)

Louisiana’s program did not sunset in 2025—it was restructured through Senate Bill 232 (Act 44), effective July 1, 2025. The annual cap decreased from $150M to $125M, but per-project and per-person wage limits were entirely removed. The base incentive remains 25%, with bonuses for in-state hiring, rural filming, and resident writer provisions bringing effective rates to 40% in optimal scenarios. The refundable structure is critical: productions receive cash back regardless of in-state tax liability. The removal of per-project caps removes previous limitations for high-budget productions. Louisiana Economic Development now oversees the program. The combination of 25-40% potential rebates, refundable structure, removed per-project caps, and New Orleans’ location value makes Louisiana highly competitive for major productions. For streaming content, high-budget commercials, and episodic television, Louisiana’s restructured program offers exceptional value. The state film office provides comprehensive support.

Reference Dates: All information current as of June 2026. Film tax incentive programs change regularly. Verify current program details and funding availability with each state film office before finalizing location decisions. Please do your own research.
