CREC010700 - Overview and definitions: Creative Industries Unit

HMRC has a specialist unit to deal with claims for AVEC and VGEC. The Creative Industries Unit, based in Manchester, deals with the Corporation Tax affairs of most companies eligible for the expenditure credits and the other Creative Industry Tax Reliefs. 

The exceptions to this are companies that are dealt with by HMRC's Large Business directorate (mainly those which are part of larger groups). 

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