Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Section 481 Film Tax Credit: Discussion (24 Jan 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I accept the point made by Ms Donaghy that there is incredible talent in the industry.

We could bolster that potential significantly if we resolved some of these issues, however. I hope we are all on the same page....
