Support you can get

You can claim an additional deduction to reduce your profits or to increase a loss. This will reduce the amount of any Corporation Tax you will need to pay.

The additional deduction will be the lower of either:

  • 80% of total core costs
  • the amount of core costs on goods or services that are provided from the UK or EEA - from 1 April 2024, it is the amount of core costs relating to activities in the UK

If you make a loss, some or all of this loss can be surrendered for a payable tax credit.

Losses are surrendered at a rate of 40% for non-touring exhibitions, with a higher rate of 45% available for touring exhibitions.
