We the undersigned call on the Government to: recognise the significant economic, social and educational importance of the UK video games industry; acknowledge that countries such as Canada, France and the USA offer significant tax breaks to their video games companies which puts UK video games firms at a disadvantage, subsequently leading to a loss of domestic jobs and investment in an international growth industry; and call on the Government to introduce TIGA’s Games Tax Relief and more generous Research and Development tax credits in the March Budget to ensure the future success of the UK video games industry.

I have been digging through these industry reports all morning and it is honestly wild how far behind we are falling while other countries just keep sprinting ahead with their tax incentives. I sent off another batch of emails to the policy folks yesterday so hopefully someone actually reads them instead of just hitting delete which happens way more than you would think.

Keep the talent here in the UK. Tired of seeing all our best devs moving to Canada for work.

Support our local studios. Why make it harder for them to compete globally?
