As the U.S. continues to ponder the value of incentives, the UK continues to build their infrastructure and enhance the UK incentives for film television, animation, and gaming.

In the UK, a new audio-visual expenditure credit was introduced with a rate of 34% for film, and high-end television (HETV) - the new audio-visual expenditure credit will result in 25.5% of actual tax relief, and 39% for animation, children’s TV and video games - the new audio-visual expenditure credit may result in 29.5% of actual tax relief. 

EP did a webinar on the new UK audio-visual expenditure credit on 9/14.

Two weeks ago, the UK today introduced a 40% tax relief for films budgeted up to £15m (approximately USD $19M) in a bid to reignite and support their indie sector.
