Don’t miss out – HMRC are giving away millions of pounds to help you create new exhibitions.
Attend our NEW training seminar if you tick yes to the following three questions. Whether you currently pay tax or not, big savings could come your way.
* Are you a charity or subsidiary engaged in creating new exhibitions?
* Do you maintain a museum, community arts centre, gallery, library, archive or historic house with collections?
* Do you also curate exhibitions of collections of objects that are of artistic, historic, scientific or cultural interest?
If you have ticked yes to all three, then don’t miss this training event.
Remember charities don’t need to be paying tax to benefit, whether you pay tax or not you could be entitled to claim cash from HMRC.
This seminar, brought to you in partnership with Scott-Moncrieff, is a must for anyone who wants to understand more about whether they qualify and how to collate the information to make a claim.
The training will be delivered by Kirsty Murray (Director of Tax) and Lyn Murphy (Tax Manager), Scott-Moncrieff, experts in Creative Industries Tax Reliefs having claimed back over £7m for their clients.
The exhibitions must be a collection of objects that are of artistic, historic, scientific or culture interest but the objects must not be for sale or the display part of a competition. MGTR is available for expenditure incurred from 1 April 2017. Claims are made as part of a charity tax return and should be submitted to HMRC within 24 months of the company’s year-end.
The course will cover:
* The basics
* If your entity qualify
* If your exhibitions qualify
* Touring and non-touring exhibitions
* Qualifying expenditure and how to collate it
* How to prepare a claim
* A case study
