State lawmakers ponder tax break for music industry
Incentives for studios, musicians could be part of legislative plan
Placeholder Image
A legislative working group, perhaps hoping to spawn the next Allman Brothers Band, REM or Outkast, will review possible tax incentives for the Georgia music industry when it meets this summer and fall. The Joint Music Economic Development Study Committee will examine ways to “measure, expand and promote” music and foster connections between recorded music and other arts, such as film, digital media and gaming. The committee is charged with finding ways to support and promote music tourism, post-secondary education in music and new studio spaces for artists to record their work.
