Download The Innovation Game report (PDF 0.6Mb)The UK is home to a renowned video games development industry and is a place where global publishers have historically wanted to do business.
But in recent years making video games in the UK has become less attractive, as overseas territories have introduced generous tax breaks in a bid to retain and bring in investment and talent. This seems to explain the UK’s decline in the global league tables, from 3rd in 2008 to perhaps 6th place in 2010.
This report recommends modification to the R&D Tax Credit that would remove unintended obstacles that make it harder for UK video games companies to benefit from the scheme.
