Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department to support the UK as a major location for the visual effects industry.

Asked by:
Tom Hayes (Labour)

Answer

The government is committed to supporting the UK’s visual effects and Animation industries, ensuring that they are able to remain competitive and with international reach. We will continue to focus on maintaining a strong and globally competitive sector by keeping tax incentives modern, agile and attractive; investing in infrastructure; supporting innovation; working with industry on skills development; and promoting independent content.

The audio-visual tax reliefs - administered by the BFI - play a key role in boosting competitiveness, incentivising the production of culturally British content, and contributing to the industry’s - and the nation’s - economic growth.
