The film tax incentive guide that reads your script
Most incentive lists show you a headline percentage. The Real Sheet models what you'd actually bank — qualifying spend, minimums, caps, and local cost of shooting — then ranks jurisdictions by estimated dollar value for your project.
How it works
Drop in your script, treatment, or synopsis. The finder reads genre, story settings, and production type the same way our full analysis does — nothing you paste is stored or used to train AI.
From the material (and your optional budget and preferred location), it estimates the spend that would actually qualify in each jurisdiction — not just the headline rate.
Every programme in our database carries its true effective rate range, minimum-spend thresholds, caps, uplifts, and a cost-of-shooting multiplier. A 30% credit somewhere expensive can net less than 22% somewhere cheap — we show the difference.
Up to eight jurisdictions ranked by estimated dollar value, each with the effective rate, qualifying spend, net cost after incentive, a confidence score, a plain-English rationale, and a link to the official film office so you can verify.
Example output
For a $1.5M indie drama with rural settings, this is what a ranked match looks like.
Ranked #1 · 40% cash rebate on qualifying local spend
Qualifying spend
$511,500
Est. incentive value
$191,813
Net cost after rebate
$633,188
Why it fits: rural drama settings match Colombian locations, local crew and services costs run well below US rates, and the production clears the minimum-spend threshold comfortably. The 40% certificate applies to local goods and services with no per-project cap.
Every result links to the official film commission or programme page so you can verify terms before you plan around them.
Jurisdictions covered
Programme terms are re-verified weekly against official film-office sources, and the same data powers the incentive modeling inside every full project budget.
