Media R&D Tax Credits
The media sector in the UK encompasses many industries, from advertising and animation to broadcasting and publishing.
And it is an industry that is rapidly changing. In 2017, UK consumers spend more on digital media than traditional media (such as magazines, books and newspapers) for the first time. Spending on digital media was £7.2bn, compared to £7.1bn on traditional forms of media.
As the industry continues to innovate this gap is likely to grow further. The digitisation of media is one of the many ways your company could benefit from media R&D tax credits.
Advances in live streaming, methods of monetising websites and developments in virtual and augmented reality can all be brought forward through effective research and development.
However, R&D always carries an element of risk, and can potential mean a large initial outlay before projects start generating income. This is where RandD Tax can help.
Our expert team of tax consultants can help maximise your R&D tax credits claim. These funds can be used to cover much of the expenditure attached to R&D, such as:
- Staff costs
- Software expenses
- Sub-contractors
- Consumables
The media industry accounts for 7% of GVA in the UK. It is very important to the wider economy, as sectors such as advertising support many other industries
Claiming R&D tax credits can help ensure the media industry continues to develop and meet the challenges of changing consumer tastes.
