TIGA, the trade association representing the video games industry, said today that the Government should increase the rate of Research and Development (R&D) tax reliefs. TIGA recommended that the rate of R&D tax reliefs should be increased for both large and small businesses to support innovation and growth in the UK.
TIGA made the comments, among other suggestions, in response to HM Treasury’s consultation on R&D Tax Reliefs. The Government’s consultation took views from stakeholders on the UK’s current R&D tax relief system. The Government’s lines of enquiry centered on the structure and administration of reliefs and the definition of R&D and qualifying expenditures.
