<p>Government funding for arts organisations and individuals is provided through our
arm’s length body, Arts Council England (ACE). In the past five years, ACE has invested
over £650 million in theatres in England, of which almost £400 million was to theatres
outside of London. Theatres across England have also benefited from the introduction
of the Theatre Tax Relief (TTR), which is helping to support the increase of theatre
productions, especially via touring. Since the introduction of the TTR in 2014, £208
million has been paid out relating to 2,520 claims, which represents 8,395 productions.</p>
