• Resumen

  • The United Kingdom�s plan to grant tax relief to producers of video games is in line with the state aid rules of the European Union. In the UK there is a group of four corporation tax reliefs aimed at the creative industries. These reliefs increase the amount of allowable expenditure for a company, with the aim of stimulating cultural production. Film tax relief was introduced in April 2007 and two additional reliefs were introduced in April 2013, for animation and high-end television programmes. On 27 March 2014 the European Commission approved the introduction of aid for producers of video games.
