answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2023 answer text <p>The Government recognises the value of the UK’s world leading creative industries and arts sectors.</p><p> </p><p>The objective of the creative industry tax reliefs is to support and incentivise production rather than to support venues themselves.</p><p> </p><p>The Government keeps all tax policy under review and regularly receives proposals for new tax reliefs.
