Demystifying the UK Film Tax Credits
Demystifying the UK Film Tax Credits
The UK Film Tax Credits system is an excellent tool for UK films to cover up to 42% of a film’s production budget in the form of a tax credit. Everyone can benefit from it, even short films and micro-budget films, and you don’t need to spend an exorbitant amount of money for an accountant to file a claim.
The information available on this topic is fragmented and we witnessed producers sharing inaccurate information with their peers. For this reason, we created the Demystifying the UK Film Tax Credits webinar. The session will be delivered in partnership with Shorts2Feautures and a chartered accountant will join us for the Q&A.
The webinar is 3 hours long (including breaks and Q&A). It touches on the following topics:
Eligibility criteria
Claim practicalities and timeline
SPV company: do I need one?
The BFI cultural test for British certification
How to identify eligible expenditure
How to calculate the tax relief
How to file a tax relief claim
Q&A with a chartered accountant
BONUS: an Excel template to forecast the tax relief you can claim
