The Commons Culture Media and Sport Committee has reported, highlighting the extraordinary success of the UK’s creative industries, while also calling for reforms to the income tax and tax relief systems to adequately recognise the freelance nature of much creative work, and for greater recognition of the importance of arts subjects in the curriculum.
John Whittingdale MP, Chair of the Committee, said: ‘Britain’s creative industries are of huge importance to our economy and as successful as any in the world. We are blessed in the UK with extraordinary creativity which is backed up by superb training in technical skills and a supportive tax regime.’
