No caps except for a $2 million cap on salaries per person per production. No sunset. Michigan crew reimbursed at 40%, non-resident BTL crew at 30%. An additional 2% is available if you shoot in one of the 103 designated Core Communities. Other parts of the package include an infrastructure tax credit and a workforce development tax credit.
