To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether it remains his policy to provide creative industry tax relief schemes; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer

The creative industries make a valuable cultural contribution to the UK, and they are also an important part of a dynamic and diversified economy. There are currently eight creative sector tax reliefs covering; film, animation, high-end TV, children’s TV, video games, theatre, orchestra and museums and galleries. The reliefs provide support to ensure that these highly skilled and innovative industries thrive in the UK. In 2016-17 the creative industry benefitted from over £700m worth of support from the creative sector tax reliefs. The government keeps all tax reliefs under review.
