RE: SALARIES, WAGES & OTHER COMPENSATION: The first $400,000 paid to a Florida resident employee is considered a qualified expenditure. No additional rebate is given for any amount in excess of $400,000. Any payment included on a FL resident employee's check is considered part of their total salary, wage and other compensation, including PER DIEM for food, housing or location expenses. These are qualified expenditures not only for the percentage rebate, but for reaching the $400,000 limit per employee. Fringes are included in the $400,000 salary limit. Any contractual obligation made to a FL resident employee that is not cash, but has monetary value, should be included in calculating the total salary of the employee.

RE: SALARIES, WAGES & OTHER COMPENSATION: The first $400,000 paid to a Florida resident employee is considered a qualified expenditure. No additional rebate is given for any amount in excess of $400,000. Any payment included on a FL resident employee's check is considered part of their total salary, wage and other compensation, including PER DIEM for food, housing or location expenses. These are qualified expenditures not only for the percentage rebate, but for reaching the $400,000 limit per employee. Fringes are included in the $400,000 salary limit. Any contractual obligation made to a FL resident employee that is not cash, but has monetary value, should be included in calculating the total salary of the employee.

Again, this list is meant as a helpful guide, and not an exact list, of what are considered qualified expenditures for Florida's incentive program. If you have any questions please contact the Office of Film and Entertainment at (850) 410-4765.
