The award-winning TV series Killing Eve and the critically acclaimed film Phantom Thread are among the productions to have benefited from High-End TV and Film Tax Reliefs respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Since these tax reliefs were introduced, 2,955 films, 485 TV productions and 1,075 videogames have benefited and, for the first time, museums and galleries exhibition tax relief has helped to showcase 300 exhibitions across the UK. In 2016, the screen sector contributed almost \u00a38 billion to the UK economy. In 2016, the film sector alone contributed over \u00a31.71 billion of UK exports.<\/p>\n<p>Jesse Norman, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, said: \u2018The arts and creative industries make a vital contribution to the UK economy. These tax reliefs have helped support some astonishing and exciting work again this year, celebrating the very best of British culture.\u2019 Creative Sector Tax Reliefs were introduced to help UK businesses in these highly skilled and innovative sectors thrive at home and abroad. The reliefs support jobs and economic activity in all parts of the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda Nevill, CEO at the BFI, which administers cultural tests for the screen sector tax reliefs, said: \u2018The BFI\u2019s Screen Business report \u2018How screen tax reliefs power economic growth across the UK\u2019 demonstrated how they are helping to drive one of our fastest-growing sectors, creating jobs across the UK, investment in innovation and delivering a strong return on investment to the UK economy with close to \u00a38 billion spent annually on production. UK-made films, television programmes and video games are international award-winners and are enjoyed by audiences at home and abroad. The combination of an explosion in global demand for high-quality productions, our creative and technical excellence, and the UK\u2019s supportive fiscal environment creates huge opportunities for our sector to grow further and boost the future prosperity of the UK.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/government-provides-11-billion-cash-boost-to-creative-sectors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>View the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/collections\/creative-industries-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Creative industry annual tax relief statistics<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New figures reveal how much Britain&#8217;s creative and art sectors have benefitted from tax reliefs, with \u00a31.1 billion of support via tax relief. image: pGovernment Licence v3.0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23755","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23755"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23755\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23757,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23755\/revisions\/23757"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
