The Credit & Post Bill
NJ bill offers tax credit for pre‑ and post‑Broadway shows
Provides corporation business and gross income tax credit for certain Pre-Broadway and Post-Broadway theater productions.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, theater companies could get a credit equal to 35% of their production costs, lowering the taxes they owe in New Jersey.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Supporters say the credit will attract shows and jobs to the state, but critics warn it reduces tax revenue that could fund schools and services.
