Written Question
Orchestras: Tax Allowances
Thursday 25th February 2021

Asked by: Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to extend eligibility for Orchestra Tax Relief to include work created for paying online audiences.

Answered by Lord Agnew of Oulton

The Government keeps all tax reliefs under review, and regularly receives proposals for changes to tax reliefs. When considering proposed changes, HM Treasury must ensure they provide support to businesses across the economy in a fair way and represent good value for money for the taxpayer.

In 2019-20, the Government provided £18 million of support to 565 productions through the Orchestra Tax Relief.
