ABSTRACT
Readers are shown how tax incentives provide cash that never needs to be repaid, but one must carefully follow the government’s rules to earn it. The text teaches that the money from a tax incentive is received after production finishes, so additional financial planning is needed to be able to use the funds for production. Readers are also taught that grants are another valuable form of soft money, but are more helpful with documentaries than with narrative features. Statistics are provided to show when producers first used tax incentives in their careers.
