<p>The Government recognises the huge contribution arts and music make, not only to
the economy and international reputation of the United Kingdom, but also to the wellbeing
and enrichment of its people and communities.</p><p>As such, the government has increased
tax reliefs for theatre, orchestras, museums and galleries until 2024. This is a fantastic
boost for arts and music in this country, to keep producing the talent and content
we are world famous for.</p><p>The Government recently announced plans to increase
and better distribute arts funding to previously overlooked or neglected areas. An
additional £75 million will be provided by 2025 to make sure places which have been
culturally under-served in the past get a better distribution of arts funding, generating
more opportunities, jobs and better access to cultural activities. A new National
Plan for Music Education will also be published later this year.</p><p>We are also
developing a Creative Industries Sector Vision which will set out our ambition for
the sector up to 2030. As part of this, the government announced £50 million of growth
support for creative businesses - including those within music - across the country.</p>
