VERMONT Tax Credits

As-Of: June 2026 | Tax Credit: 30% transferable

Vermont offers 30% transferable tax credit on qualified in-state production expenses for all production types. The 30% rate is competitive. Credits are transferable, requiring monetization at typical broker rates of 85-92 cents on the dollar. Vermont requires pre-certification and maintains annual funding allocations. Vermont’s locations include quintessential New England character: green mountains, forests, charming small towns, rural agricultural settings, and seasonal variation particularly compelling for fall foliage content. Production costs are moderate compared to other New England states. Vermont has developing film infrastructure with emerging crew capacity and equipment rental options. Post-production facilities are available. The combination of 30% transferable credits and New England authenticity makes Vermont practical for productions with Northeast location requirements. For independent films and television seeking New England character and willing to navigate credit transfer mechanics, Vermont offers solid value. Vermont’s natural beauty and distinct identity provide location appeal for appropriate narratives. For East Coast productions with Vermont location requirements, Vermont offers reasonable value.
