Career

The creative industries generate £108 billion a year and employ over 2.3 million people across the UK. And the sector has grown at more than 1.5 times the rate of the wider economy over the past decade. (Government Policy paperCreative industries sector vision: a joint plan to drive growth, build talent and develop skillsUpdated 20 June 2023).

There are new tax changes for 2024, expected to be worth £5 million each year to business alongside the Audio-Visual Expenditure Credit, which was uplifted at budget from 33.33% to 39%. This also follows the Creative Industries Sector Vision published last month, which set an ambition to grow the creative industries by an extra £50 billion by 2030. (Animation magazine 2023).
