PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(8 January 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of changes to Orchestra Tax Relief from 1 April 2024 on the promotion of UK orchestras.

Asked by:
Rachel Blake (Labour)

Answer

The government recognises the value of the UK’s world-leading creative industries and arts sectors.

On 1 April 2024, several administrative changes to Orchestra Tax Relief took effect, following legislation being passed in Finance Act 2024.

In accordance with standard practice, HMRC published a tax information and impact note about the legislation, which can be accessed at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/creative-industry-tax-reliefs-administrative-changes/administrative-changes-to-the-creative-industry-tax-reliefs

As set out in the note, the administrative changes are expected to have a negligible impact on businesses claiming the creative tax reliefs.
