Trump’s film tax plan after China’s retaliation
At the moment it is not clear how this type of tax will work or how the value of films will be fixed for tax collection. Many Hollywood films are made in different parts of the world-sometimes shooting is done abroad and post-production work can also be done in any country.
However, Trump’s action has come out after the recent announcement of China, in which he decided to “reduce” the number of Hollywood films coming from the US. The move was taken in response to the aggressive tariff imposed by Trump on China.
China’s film administration said in April that the ban would “reduce the popularity of American films among domestic audiences.”
Although the American film industry is considered to be the most influential film industry in the world, the popularity of foreign films has also gained momentum in recent years and has also received international awards. For example, the South Korean thriller film ‘Parasite’ won four Oscar Awards in 2020, including the most prestigious ‘Best Picture’ Award.
