S1216AH, S1216CG Corporation Tax Act 2009

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp amount of Television Tax Relief (TTR) to which a Television Production Company (TPC) is entitled in respect of a television programme is determined by the amount of core expenditure (see TPC50010) which is used or consumed in the UK.

UK expenditure is defined as:

‘…expenditure on goods or services that are used or consumed in the United Kingdom.�

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp key test here is the location where goods or services are used or consumed. »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp nationality of the provider of the goods or services is irrelevant, as is their location.

In order to determine whether expenditure is UK expenditure, it is necessary to establish:

  • the nature of the specific goods or services in question, and
  • the place where the recipient uses or consumes those goods and services.
