An Act providing incentives to the digital interactive media/entertainment industries

HD 4011 creates tax credits to support Massachusetts-based digital interactive media companies, such as video game developers and interactive entertainment producers. It offers a 25% credit on payroll costs for companies with qualifying production expenses exceeding $50,000 in the state, excluding salaries over $1 million per employee. Companies producing in designated "gateway municipalities" receive an additional credit on Massachusetts production expenses. The bill also establishes a dedicated division within the Massachusetts Film Office to manage these incentives and promote the industry. This policy directly affects eligible digital media producers meeting the cost and location thresholds.
