Filmmakers eye sweet tax breaks in Idaho – Napoleon Dynamite put Idaho on the radar

Folks in Idaho’s film industry are trying to find the right blend of sales and income tax breaks that will attract out-of-state dollars and pass muster in the Legislature.

The early ideas:

• Rebate all sales taxes on film and media productions that spend more than $200,000 in Idaho.

• Offer income tax credit to those same productions when they hire Idaho workers.

Similar ideas are working in other states like Oregon, Montana and Utah, and a group of lawmakers, economic specialists and industry workers are hoping to get Idaho to compete for the high-profile and big-spending film industry.
