Reestablishes the media production expenditure tax credit (which expired in 2012), with certain changes. Provides a refundable tax credit to taxpayers that make qualified production expenditures in Indiana. Provides that the tax credit may be granted only if qualified production expenditures are at least $50,000. Provides that in the case of a taxpayer that claims the tax credit for qualified production expenditures of less than $6,000,000, the amount of the credit equals a percentage of the taxpayer's qualified production expenditures. Specifies that the percentage is: (1) 40%, in the case of qualified production expenditures paid to an individual or entity located in an economically distressed municipality or county; or (2) 35%, in the case of other qualified production expenditures. Provides that in the case of a taxpayer that claims the tax credit for qualified production expenditures of at least $6,000,000: (1) the amount of the credit equals the taxpayer's qualified production expenditures multiplied by a percentage (not more than 15%) determined by the Indiana economic development corporation (IEDC); and (2) the taxpayer must, before incurring or making the qualified production expenditures, apply to the IEDC for approval of the tax credit. Provides that the maximum amount of media production expenditure tax credits that may be allowed during a state fiscal year for all taxpayers is $2,500,000.
