2 The amendments made by Parts 3 and 4 of this Schedule have effect in relation to accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2027.

17 Closure of existing regimes to new productions

A company is not to be treated as carrying on a separate trade under Part 15, 15A or 15B of CTA 2009 if the trade would be treated under that Part as beginning on or after 1 April 2025.

18 Opting into new regime during transitional period

1 If a company makes an election under section 1179B(1) of CTA 2009 in its company tax return for an accounting period beginning before 1 January 2024—
a Part 14A of CTA 2009 applies further to that election only in respect of the portion of the accounting period that falls on or after that date, and
b the relevant existing regime applies in respect of the portion of the accounting period that falls before that date.
2 If a company makes an election under section 1179B(1) of CTA 2009 in its company tax return for an accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2024, the relevant existing regime does not apply in relation to that accounting period or any subsequent accounting period, subject to sub-paragraphs (3) and (4).
3 If a company makes an election under section 1179B(1) of CTA 2009 in its company tax return for an accounting period beginning on or before but ending after the relevant closure date, it may further elect in the return for sub-paragraph (4) to apply.
4 If it does so—
a Part 14A of CTA 2009 applies further to the election under section 1179B(1) of CTA 2009 only in respect of the portion of the accounting period that falls after the relevant closure date, and
b the relevant existing regime applies in respect of the portion of the accounting period that falls on or before that date.
5 Where, by virtue of this paragraph, different Parts of CTA 2009 apply in respect of different portions of an accounting period, the portions are to be treated as separate accounting periods for the purposes of—
a those Parts, and
b paragraphs 19 to 24A (but not for other corporation tax purposes).
6 For the purposes of this paragraph—
a the “relevant existing regime” means—
i Part 15 of CTA 2009, if the election under section 1179B(1) of that Act relates to a film;
ii Part 15A of CTA 2009, if the election under section 1179B(1) of that Act relates to a television programme;
iii Part 15B of CTA 2009, if the election under section 1179B(1) of that Act relates to a video game;
b references to the application of the relevant existing regime are to its application in relation to that film, television programme or video game;
c the “relevant closure date” is—
i 31 March 2025, in the case of a film or television programme whose principal photography has not begun, or a video game whose production has not begun, by the end of that date;
ii 31 March 2027, in any other case.
7 Nothing in this paragraph expands the circumstances in which the relevant existing regime can apply (except by making it apply in respect of a portion of an accounting period).

19 Productions not moving into new regime

1 Sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) apply if, but for this paragraph, Part 15, 15A or 15B of CTA 2009 would apply to a company in relation to a film, television programme or video game in respect of an accounting period beginning on or before but ending after the relevant closure date.
2 The company is to be treated for the purposes of the Part in question as if, at the end of the relevant closure date, it—
a ceased the separate trade that it is treated as carrying on under that Part, and
b abandoned its activities in relation to the film, television programme or video game.
3 No election under section 1179B(1) of CTA 2009 may be made in relation to the film, television programme or video game.
4 The date that is the relevant closure date for the purposes of paragraph 18 is also the relevant closure date for the purposes of this paragraph.

20 Continuity between regimes: taxation as separate trade

1 Sub-paragraphs (2) to (5) apply if—
a a company is treated as carrying on a separate trade under Part 15, 15A or 15B of CTA 2009 in an accounting period (“AP1”),
b in the next accounting period (“AP2”), the company is treated as carrying on a separate trade under Part 14A of CTA 2009, and
c both trades relate to the same film, television programme or video game.
2 The separate trade that the company is treated as carrying on in AP2 is to be treated as a continuation of the separate trade that the company was treated as carrying on in AP1.
3 Accordingly, section 1179BA(2) of CTA 2009 does not apply.
4 If a new period of account does not begin when AP2 begins, a new period of account is to be treated as beginning at that time for the purposes of—
a section 1189, 1216BA or 1217BA of CTA 2009 (as it applies in relation to AP1), and
b section 1179BB of CTA 2009 (as it applies in relation to AP2).
5 For the purposes of section 1179BB(3) of CTA 2009 as it applies in relation to AP2, the references to the corresponding amounts for the previous period are to be read as references to the corresponding amounts brought into account under section 1189, 1216BA or 1217BA of that Act for AP1.

21 Continuity between regimes: calculation of expenditure credit

1 Sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) apply if—
a a company is entitled to audiovisual expenditure credit or video game expenditure credit under Chapter 3 of Part 14A of CTA 2009 for an accounting period, and
b in respect of an earlier accounting period, the company was entitled to, and claimed—
i film tax relief under Chapter 3 of Part 15 of CTA 2009,
ii television tax relief under Chapter 3 of Part 15A of that Act, or
iii video games tax relief under Chapter 3 of Part 15 of that Act, and
c both entitlements relate to the same film, television programme or video game.
2 In those sub-paragraphs, the earliest accounting period within sub-paragraph (1)(a) is “AP2” and the latest accounting period within sub-paragraph (1)(b) is “AP1”.
3 For the purposes of step 1 in section 1179CA(1) of CTA 2009 as it applies in relation to AP2, the reference to relevant global expenditure includes the amount that was “qualifying expenditure incurred to date” for the purposes of section 1200(1) or (2), 1216CG(1) or (2) or 1217CG(1) or (2) of that Act in relation to AP1.
4 For the purposes of step 4 in section 1179CA(1) of CTA 2009 as it applies in relation to AP2, the reference to the company’s qualifying expenditure to date in the accounting period for which it was last entitled to, and claimed, an expenditure credit is to be read as a reference to the amount taken as ‘E’ for the purposes of section 1200(1) or (2), 1216CG(1) or (2) or 1217CG(1) or (2) of that Act in relation to AP1.

a it has entered production before 1 April 2024, and
b the separate theatrical trade in respect of it ceases before 1 April 2025.
3 Sub-paragraph (4) applies if—
a a theatrical production has entered production before 1 April 2024,
b the separate theatrical trade in respect of the production continues on or after 1 April 2025,
c the production company’s company tax return for the first accounting period that ends on or after 1 April 2025 is accompanied by a statement of the amount of the core expenditure on the theatrical production incurred before 1 April 2025 that is European expenditure, and
d that statement shows that, in respect of core expenditure incurred before 1 April 2025, the European expenditure condition is met.
4 The company’s entitlement to—
a an additional deduction under section 1217H of CTA 2009, or
b a tax credit under section 1217K of that Act,
is unaffected by a failure to meet the UK expenditure condition so far as the entitlement derives from expenditure incurred before 1 April 2025.
5 For the purposes of sub-paragraph (4), an entitlement to a tax credit under section 1217H of CTA 2009 derives from expenditure incurred before 1 April 2025 to the extent that it would arise if only costs incurred and income received before that date were taken into account in calculating the surrenderable loss of the company for the purposes of section 1217KA of that Act.
6 Sub-paragraph (7) applies in relation to a theatrical production in respect of which the separate theatrical trade continues on or after 1 April 2025.
7 The reference in section 1217NA(1) of CTA 2009, as amended by paragraph 5, to a statement having been made under section 1217N(2) of that Act includes reference to a statement having been made in relation to the European expenditure condition under that provision before it was amended by paragraph 5.
8 But the application of section 1217NA(1) of CTA 2009 as so amended is subject to sub-paragraph (4) (where that sub-paragraph applies).
9 In this paragraph—
  • “theatrical production”, “separate theatrical trade”, “production company” and “core expenditure” have the same meanings as in Part 15C of CTA 2009;
  • “UK expenditure condition” has the same meaning as in that Part after the amendments made by paragraph 5;
  • “European expenditure” and “European expenditure condition” have the same meanings as in that Part before the amendments made by paragraph 5.
10 For the purposes of this paragraph, a theatrical production “enters production” when core expenditure is first incurred on it.

12 Transitional provision in relation to paragraph 6

1 This paragraph makes transitional provision in relation to paragraph 6.
2 The amendments made by that paragraph have effect in relation to accounting periods ending on or after 1 April 2024.
3 Sub-paragraph (4) applies in a case where expenditure incurred before 1 April 2024 is to be taken into account as qualifying expenditure for the purposes of section 1217J of CTA 2009 (amount of relief for theatrical production).
4 The references in subsections (2) and (3) of that section (as amended by paragraph 6) to so much of the qualifying expenditure incurred to date as is UK expenditure are to be read as references to so much of the qualifying expenditure incurred to date as—
a has been incurred before 1 April 2024 and is European expenditure, or
b has been incurred on or after that date and is UK expenditure.
5 But if the theatrical production in relation to which sub-paragraph (4) applies has entered production before 1 April 2024, the production company may elect for that sub-paragraph to have effect in relation to that production as if “2025” were substituted for “2024”.
6 In this paragraph—
  • “theatrical production”, “production company” and “core expenditure” have the same meanings as in Part 15C of CTA 2009;
  • “UK expenditure” has the same meaning as in that Part after the amendments made by paragraph 5;
  • “European expenditure” has the same meaning as in that Part before the amendments made by paragraph 5.
7 For the purposes of sub-paragraph (5), a theatrical production “enters production” when core expenditure is first incurred on it.
