Montana film tax incentive in danger of not being renewed

Proponents of a bill that offers tax incentives to film productions made in Montana are hoping to revive it after it was tabled by a House committee Feb. 9.

House Bill 120, sponsored by Bozeman Democrat Kathleen Williams, re-enacts the Big Sky on the Big Screen Act, which was passed in 2005 and sunsetted Dec. 31, 2014. The act allowed productions to apply for a tax credit of 14 percent on the first $50,000 they paid to Montana residents, plus another 9 percent tax credit on goods and services purchased in the state.
