FAQs & Key Points

How does the tax credit/incentive program work?

When you buy tax credits, the incentive program has funds to attract and keep productions in Oregon and support workforce development programs such as Oregon Media Pathways.

Who can benefit from buying these credits?

Anyone with an Oregon state tax liability—that includes you, your vendors, your business-owning friends, your family... everyone!

Should I buy production tax credits?

We've heard it from multiple accountants—the answer is a resounding "Yes!"

Why should I buy these tax credits?

  • Save money: Get your taxes "on sale" for up to 10% off
  • Support our local media production industry and professionals (like you!)
  • Choose exactly where our state government spends your tax money

What happens if I'm outbid?

If you are outbid and the entire $14 million of available credits sells out, then your original check will be returned to you in a few weeks. This is actually a good thing for the industry! If we oversell the program, then we can ask for more incentive dollars the next year. 

What if I owe less than I thought I would in taxes?

No problem! You have three years to use your tax credits (2020, 2021, 2022).

Do you know any good accountants I could consult with first?

Yes! You can reach out to David Bixel of MB Tax Pro at 503-595-5890 or david@mbtaxpro.com for advice. 

Do you have any materials I can share with friends/colleagues?

Yes! Feel free to share these FAQs with your network.
