answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2023 answer text <p>Orchestras are a crucial part of the UK arts sector. That is why at Spring Budget 2023, the government went further to support orchestras by announcing a 2-year extension to the current 45% (for non-touring productions) and 50% (for touring productions) rates of orchestra tax relief (OTR).</p><p> </p><p>From April 2024, qualifying expenditure for OTR will be that incurred on goods and services used or consumed in the UK. To qualify, 10% of expenditure on a production must be incurred on goods or services that are used or consumed in the UK. This is a significant decrease from the current requirement for 25% of expenditure to be incurred on goods or services in the UK or EEA. The government expects this will support companies in adjusting to the new rules.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 14/11/2023 17:17:21 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
