Whether you're a producer, production accountant or working your way up in film and TV finance, understanding the UK tax incentive is essential. It can make or break a production's budget. This course explains how the incentive for films and high-end television works today, from the history behind it to the current Audio-Visual Expenditure Credit (AVEC). You'll learn what qualifies, how the credit is used, how the BFI cultural test and points system works, the qualifying categories, and what changes when a project is made as an official co-production.

The course goes beyond theory with worked calculation examples and a hands-on exercise. It also includes our downloadable UK Tax Incentive Estimator, a practical tool you can use on your own projects. With on-demand lessons, a knowledge review to test your understanding and further reading to take you deeper, you can learn at your own pace and come away confident discussing, estimating and planning for the UK tax incentive. Includes a certificate on completion.
