The UK Independent Film Tax Credit (IFTC) announced at Spring Budget is an enhanced tax credit, designed to boost the production of UK independent films and incubate UK film talent. Under the IFTC, films with budgets up to £15m that meet the criteria of a new British Film Institute test will be able to claim a tax credit of 53% on up to 80% of their UK production costs.<\/p>

Industry has welcomed the measure, with the British Film Institute Chair describing it as a game changer for UK filmmakers that will create jobs and ensure great British stories continue to be told.<\/p>

The government has announced that eligible film studios in England will receive a 40% reduction on gross business rates bills until 2034 which is a tax cut worth £470 million over the next 10 years. This will ensure that existing studios remain competitive and support new studio investments in England.

At Spring Budget 2024, the government announced that from 1 April 2025, companies claiming the Audio-Visual Expenditure Credit (AVEC) will be able to receive a 5-percentage point increase in tax relief (a total rate of 39%) on UK visual effects costs in film and high-end TV productions. The government will also remove the AVEC\u2019s 80% cap on expenditure for UK visual effects costs, so companies will be able to claim relief on all UK visual effects spend.<\/p>

The policy objective is to incentivise companies to use more visual effects in their film and high-end TV productions, and for that visual effects work to be carried out in the UK.<\/p>

The government will shortly publish a 10-week consultation on the types of cost that will be in scope of the additional tax relief.<\/p>

As the details of policy are under development, the government cannot yet publish an assessment of its impact on the visual effects industry. The government will publish a Tax Information and Impact Note in due course.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4407", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nigel Huddleston"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Mid Worcestershire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nigel Huddleston"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-03-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-03-19T16:18:08.857Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-03-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Video Games: Tax Allowances"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of the additional tax relief for visual effects on the visual effects industry.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4006", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dr Matthew Offord"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hendon"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Dr Matthew Offord"} ], "uin" : "18107"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1695362", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1695362/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

At Spring Budget 2024, the government announced that from 1 April 2025, the rate of theatre tax relief will be set permanently at 40% (for non-touring productions) and 45% (for touring productions).<\/p>

<\/p>

This is a highly generous level of relief that will support theatre companies to continue to put on outstanding home-grown productions. 705 theatre companies benefitted from theatre tax relief in the last year of available statistics.<\/p>
