Action Research into the Uptake and Impact of Museums and Galleries Exhibition Tax Relief
Since the relief was introduced in 2017, a total of £20 million has been paid to 220 claims which represents 1,345 exhibitions.
In 2019–20, 170 claims supporting 1,045 exhibitions were made, receiving a total of £16 million (HMRC). This, in turn, supports the UK’s internationally acclaimed artistic and curatorial talent pool and brings significant investment to retain the status and profile of UK museums, galleries and the arts as creative industry world leaders.
The following report summarises the activities delivered by Yorkshire Visual Arts Network (YVAN) in partnership with Contemporary Visual Arts Network (CVAN) to promote, advocate for, and analyse the uptake and experience of the MGETR in the UK. We have sought to demonstrate and recognise the breadth of ‘activity type’ of all potential claimants and illustrate the positive impact of MGETR on the museums and gallery sector.
The MGETR Phase 2 report demonstrates where HM Government’s investment through the tax credit scheme is a positive stimulus in unlocking creative risk-taking, R&D and innovation models in exhibition content, formats and contexts.
