Demystifying the UK Film Tax Credits

Sunday 12th January 2025 – from 10:00am to 12:30pm (UK time)

a recording of the webinar will be available for two weeks after the event

The UK Film Tax Credits system is a great tool that the UK government provides for UK-based filmmakers to get up to 42% of a film’s production back 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 partnered with accounting firm WW Creative to create the Demystifying the UK Film Tax Credits webinar.

In partnership with:

WW Creative – Accountants for the creative industries

Learn how to get up to 42% of a film’s production budget back as tax relief.
