A: Currently a few of you will be desperately trying to get your Tax Returns in before the 31st Jan which lead me onto this week’s Producer question… When it comes to Tax Relief for productions what actually consists as a “tour”? Ordinary relief you can claim for is 20% (16% net) but for touring productions the relief you can receive is 25% (20% net). You have to ensure that the intention at the beginning of production is to present performances in at least two separate premises and at least 14 performances. Remember this is a tricky topic, so if you do have any questions do get in contact with the very helpful team at Harbottle & Lewis.
