Specialist unit to deal with Film Tax Relief

HM Revenue & Customs has now established a new specialist unit to deal with most claims for Film tax Relief (FTR). From 1 January, the Manchester Film Tax Credit Unit will deal with the corporation tax affairs of most companies eligible for FTR.

The exceptions to this are:

• Cases that are being dealt with by Large Business Service (mainly those which are part of larger groups) which will continue to be dealt with there.
• Where an enquiry into a claim was already underway before 1 January 2008, the existing office may continue to deal with the company, with specialist advice from the Film Tax Credit Unit.

Companies only making films not entitled to FTR will, of course, continue to be dealt with by their existing offices.

The address of the Unit is:

Manchester Film Tax Credit Unit
Albert Bridge House
1 Bridge Street
