Production companies filming episodic TV (2+ episodes) in Mississippi can get cash rebates of 35% on resident payroll and 20% on non-resident payroll (salary up to $3M each), from a $10M annual program. Apply 4-6 weeks before Mississippi spending.
This program provides $10 million annually as a cash rebate on eligible expenditures and payroll for episodic television productions with no less than two episodes made in Mississippi. It is modeled on the motion picture program, but pays a 35% rebate on resident cast and crew payroll and 20% on non-resident payroll (for the portion of each salary up to $3 million); the page's calculator also lists 25% on local non-payroll spend and 40% on resident veteran payroll. Film Mississippi recommends applying 4-6 weeks before Mississippi spending, once the project is fully funded.
