Tax Relief
Creative Industry losses can be utilised in the Loss Utilisation input screen.
And any credits can be claimed in the Tax Credits input screen where the Tax Credit input is available (dependent on tax position).
In the 2021 Budget, HMRC made a temporary change to the rate of tax credits that can be claimed by surrendering losses from certain creative industries. The tax rates is effectively a sliding scale based on the date the expenditure is incurred and the type of creative industry. We have amended the warning message to advise the Tax credit claimed can be manually overwritten if the amount due is different.
