Taxing the spotlight

Behind the scenes: tax challenges for film & TV


Listen Later

The UK remains a top destination for film and TV production, thanks to attractive incentives, but navigating the tax landscape can be complex for both studios and individuals.

In our latest podcast episode, Pete Hackleton and Kathy Johnson explore the unique tax challenges faced by the film and TV industry, from major studios and production companies to the cast and crew who bring stories to life. 

They cover:

  • Available UK film tax relief incentives for studios and production companies,
  • Tax implications for non-UK resident cast and crew, including withholding tax obligations,
  • Specific rules on payments and perks, from fees and per diems to flights, accommodation, and other benefits, and
  • Potential administrative requirements plus practical tips to stay compliant.

If you have any queries on this topic don’t hesitate to get in touch.
