FPC50050 - Film Tax Relief: Eligible Expenditure: UK expenditure

CTA2009/S1185; CTA2009 S1200

The amount of Film Tax Relief (FTR) to which a film production company (FPC) is entitled is determined by the amount of core expenditure (FPC50010) which is also UK expenditure.

UK expenditure is defined as:

바카라 사이트˜바카라 사이트¦expenditure on goods and services which are used or consumed in the United Kingdom바카라 사이트™.

The nationality of those providing the goods and services has no bearing on whether the expenditure qualifies as UK expenditure. The 바카라 사이트˜used or consumed바카라 사이트™ test does not focus on the supplier of goods and services but instead concentrates on the recipient or customer as the means of determining UK expenditure.

In order to determine whether an item of expenditure incurred in relation to a film should be treated as UK expenditure, it is necessary to establish:

  • the nature of the specific goods or services in question; and
  • the place where the recipient uses or consumes those goods and services.
