SB 57 - This act establishes the "Entertainment Industry Jobs Act". For all tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, this act authorizes a taxpayer to claim a tax credit for rehearsal expenses and tour expenses, as such terms are defined in the act, for live entertainment tours and associated rehearsals conducted within the state. The tax credit shall be equal to 30% of such expenses, provided that no taxpayer shall receive a tax credit in excess of $1 million if such taxpayer's expenses are less than $4 million; and further provided that no taxpayer shall receive a tax credit in excess of $2 million if such taxpayer's expenses are more than $4 million but less than $8 million; and further provided that no taxpayer shall receive a tax credit in excess of $3 million if such taxpayer's expenses are at least $8 million. Tax credits issued under this act shall not be refundable, but may be carried forward to the taxpayer's five subsequent tax years. Unredeemed tax credits shall expire after the fifth tax year following the initial date of issuance, regardless of whether unredeemed tax credits are transferred or sold pursuant to the act. Tax credits may be transferred or sold, provided that the tax credit is transferred or sold to another Missouri taxpayer. A taxpayer shall submit information to the Department of Economic Development and the Department of Revenue relating to the identity of a transferee and the amount of tax credits being transferred or sold, as described in the act. A transferee shall not subsequently transfer or sell any tax credit acquired from a transferor, and tax credits shall not be transferred or sold for less than 60% of the value of such tax credits. The aggregate amount of tax credits that may be authorized under the act in a given fiscal year shall not exceed $8 million. If applications for tax credits exceed such amount, the Department of Economic Development may, at its discretion, authorize additional tax credits not to exceed $2 million, provided that the maximum amount of tax credits that may be authorized during the subsequent fiscal year shall be reduced by such amount. This act shall sunset on December 31, 2030, unless reauthorized by the General Assembly. This act shall become effective July 1, 2024. This act is identical to a provision in SCS/SBs 961 & 733 (2022). JOSH NORBERG
