Frequently Asked Questions

What creative industry tax reliefs are available?
The UK offers generous tax reliefs for qualifying creative productions including Film Tax Relief (25%), Animation Tax Relief (25%), Video Games Tax Relief (25%), Theatre Tax Relief (20-25%), and Orchestra Tax Relief (25%). We identify qualifying activities and prepare robust claims to maximise your relief.
How should I structure royalty income?
Royalty income can be structured through personal ownership, a limited company, or a combination. The optimal structure depends on the income level, whether you need funds personally, and your long-term plans. We model different scenarios to find the most tax-efficient approach for your specific situation.
Do you understand IR35 for creative freelancers?
Yes, IR35 is a significant issue in the creative sector. We assess the employment status of creative freelancers, review contracts, and advise on compliant working arrangements. For medium and large end-clients, we also help with Status Determination Statements (SDS) and the off-payroll working rules.
