New Jersey Film and Production Insurance

NEW JERSEY Tax Credits

As-Of: June 2026 | Tax Credit: 30-40% transferable (NO per-project cap)

New Jersey offers 30-40% transferable tax credit on qualified in-state production expenses, with rates increasing based on criteria including in-state vendor use and local crew hiring. The base rate is 30%, with 35-40% available under specific conditions. The state offers NO per-project cap, enabling large-budget productions to access full incentive value. New Jersey’s program was extended through 2049, providing long-term certainty. Netflix broke ground on a major production facility in Monmouth County in 2025, signaling confidence in program competitiveness. New Jersey’s locations include proximity to New York City (enabling access to NYC talent while filming in-state), diverse geography from urban to coastal settings, and infrastructure scale supporting major productions. The combination of 30-40% transferable credits, no per-project cap, program extension through 2049, and Netflix facility investment makes New Jersey highly competitive. For Mid-Atlantic productions requiring New York proximity without New York’s application competition, New Jersey offers strong value.
