Tax incentives bill to lure filmmakers to Missouri heads to governor’s desk

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Missouri lawmakers have approved a bill to reinstate tax incentives in hopes to bring major film productions to the Show Me State.

The “Show MO Act,” sponsored by State Sen. Denny Hoskins (R-Caldwell County), cleared the Missouri House last Thursday. It officially heads to Gov. Mike Parson’s desk for consideration.

The bill could allow production of films with Missouri-based settings to stay within the stay, plus possibly help Missouri be more competitive for larger projects that aren’t necessarily based on in the state. Missouri has not offered tax incentives to filmmakers since 2013.
