a one-to-one session
|
If you’ve made a British indie film, you can claim a Tax Credit of either (approx) 20% or 30% depending on your budget.
Processing it can feel daunting. We will take you through the steps to help you claim. How low is low budget? There are costs involved. You must produce your film through a limited company. You will also need a solicitor to witness your application. Further costs can be between £300 and £3,500 (on indie features and shorts) which will determine which tax credit credit to apply for. In the one-to-one you'll: -be shown how to apply to the BFI for a British Film Certificate; -be taught the correct way to present your accounts; -learn how to work with HMRC’s Creative Industries Department to secure the rebate. |
