<p>The Government recognises the valuable economic and cultural contribution of the
video games industry. The Video Games Tax Relief (VGTR) has supported £5.1 billion
of UK expenditure on 1,940 games since its introduction in 2014.</p><p> </p><p>At
Spending Review 2021 the government confirmed £8 million for the continuation of the
UK Games Fund which provides bespoke support for the UK’s independent video game industry.</p><p>

considering changes, the Government must ensure they provide support to businesses
in a fair way and that taxpayer money is effectively targeted. An uplift in the rate
of VGTR is not currently under consideration. However, the Government keeps all tax
reliefs under review.</p><p> </p>
