The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has announced further consultation documents on the proposed tax relief that will be introduced in April 2013 in the animation, high-end television and video games industries.

The consultation paper sets out the proposed method under which you could claim tax relief for projects you work on in these industries.

The DCMS are looking for feedback on these proposals and further details can be found here:
