How does UK Creative Funding work?

We provide a free assessment to check which tax reliefs your creative business qualifies for. If you're eligible, we match you with a vetted specialist who handles the entire claim process.

Is your service really free?

Yes, our assessment and matching service is completely free. We're paid by our partner specialists when they successfully help you claim. There's no cost to you for finding out what you qualify for.

What happens after I check my eligibility?

One of our team reviews your details and gets back to you within 24 hours. We'll discuss your productions, confirm which reliefs you qualify for, and introduce you to a specialist who fits your needs. No pressure, no obligation.

Why use UK Creative Funding instead of going direct?

We've vetted specialists across film, TV, games, theatre, and more - so you don't have to.

What creative tax reliefs are available?

There are 8 creative tax relief schemes: Film Tax Relief, High-End TV, Animation, Children's TV, Video Games Tax Relief, Theatre Tax Relief, Orchestra Tax Relief, and Museums & Galleries Relief.

Do I actually qualify?

If you're a UK company (limited company, CIC, charity) making creative content, there's a good chance you do. Our free assessment gives an indication of whether you may qualify.

I'm a charity - can I still claim?

Absolutely. Even if you don't pay Corporation Tax, you can still receive payable tax credits. Many theatre companies and arts organisations are charities and claim successfully.

Is there a deadline to claim?

You have 2 years from the end of your accounting period to claim tax reliefs. If you've finished productions recently, don't wait - and if you've got older projects, you might still be in time.
