The UK government has launched a consultation period asking industry leaders for comments on plans to reform and merge film, animation, high-end TV, and children’s TV tax relief measures into a sin…

The consultation period is set to run until February 9, 2023, with the reforms to be implemented in spring 2024.

Right now, all British qualifying films of any budget can claim a payable cash rebate of up to 25% on UK qualifying expenditure. The tax relief is capped at 80% of the core expenditure. There is no limit on the budget of the film or the amount of relief payable within the 80% cap. Crunching the numbers, the UK Treasury said high-end TV accounted for 38% of the total amount of creative industry tax relief in 2022, while film accounted for 35%. This is the first time that the amount of high-end TV tax relief has exceeded film.
