REFUNDABLE TAX CREDIT – OPERATION AND EFFECTIVENESS
This credit has been very effective in attracting qualified productions to Michigan. We are currently
ranked as one of the top 3 states in America for shooting all types of media because of the refundable
tax credit. Other key strengths for Michigan include our skilled work force and our locations.

Filming expenditures in Michigan have increased from $125 million in 2008 to an estimated $223.6 million in
2009. Michigan jobs for crew exceed 4,000, with another 4,000 jobs for actors, as both extras and day
players. The bulk of the crew jobs average $30 or more an hour.
In 2009, 126 companies applied for the refundable tax credit. Of those, 62 were approved and 46 of
those companies completed their work in 2009.
