How is Theatre Tax Relief calculated

When calculating the relief, each production must be treated as a separate trade.  The qualifying core expenditure and the profit or loss must be calculated for each production.

The company can claim an additional tax deduction equal to 80% of the qualifying core expenditure (or 80% of the expenditure incurred within the EEA if this is lower).

Loss-making companies can surrender the lower of 80% of the qualifying core expenditure and the adjusted loss as a repayable credit.  The rates of repayment are:

• Up to 50% for touring productions
• Up to 45% for all other qualifying productions
