UK TAX RELIEF: BEYOND 25%

The Last Kingdom (Carnival Films)

The Last Kingdom (Carnival Films)

The UK’s film and television tax reliefs have been hugely successful in attracting major film and television projects to the UK but much has been written about competition from other jurisdictions, particularly those with post/VFX specific incentives.

This panel aims to highlight the facts behind the rhetoric, explaining the real value and flexibility of the UK’s tax reliefs and how to maximise the UK incentives from development through to delivery. This session is aimed at content producers but also UK facilities and service providers to gain a clear understanding of how to use the UK tax reliefs to boost UK business.

Samantha Perahia, Head of Production UK at the British Film Commission is joined by tax experts Darren Drake, Director at Saffery Champness and Anna Mansi, Head of Certification at the BFI along with the Nigel Marchant, Executive Producer, Carnival Films and Lucy Ainsworth-Taylor, MD/VFX Executive Producer, BlueBolt.
