APC10020 - Overview and general definitions: Creative Industries Unit

HMRC has a specialist unit to deal with most claims for Television Tax Relief (TTR). The Creative Industries Unit only deals with claims to TTR and other Creative Industry Tax Reliefs. It does not deal with all of a production company’s tax affairs.

The exceptions to this are cases that are dealt with by the Large Business directorate (mainly those which are part of larger groups).

Companies only making programmes not entitled to TTR, or that do not claim TTR, will continue to be dealt with by their existing offices.

The unit can be contacted by email at creative.industries@hmrc.gov.uk.

The unit can also be written to using the following correspondence address:
