New York Commercial Tax Credits: Why Shooting Upstate Is a Smart Move
ATTENTION COMMERCIAL PRODUCERS!
Although the New York State Commercial Tax Credit Program is designed to incentivize commercial production across the state, the greatest savings are found just NORTH of the city.

We believe that the most meaningful way to do that is by being Turnkey. Cobalt’s Turnkey status means that all the most sought-after tools and amenities you need are already here—ready to roll.
Upstate NY Commercial Tax Credit is #1 in NY State
To attract more commercial production, the state of New York offers the Commercial Tax Credit Program, tailored specifically for the Industry. However, there’s a BIG difference in savings between filming in Upstate vs. Downstate.
These differences, including the amount you need to spend and the percentage you receive, differ greatly depending on where you film. Want the deets?
The Cobalt Experience and Why it Matters
