Animation UK – the trade body for the UK animation industry – campaigns for fairer trading conditions for UK animation producers, to help protect or increase the ownership of IP that is of such value to the UK Economy.

In September, Animation UK published a report, Securing the Future of UK Animation, by Robert Kennedy and Tom Broughton. The report cites the UK animation industry’s substantial strengths, and its range of technical and craft skills, and “exactly the type of business that is central to the future of the UK economy.” It notes how the industry is disadvantaged compared to the substantial support provided in other countries, and calls for support, such as a TV animation tax credit, that would bring both new business, and deliver tax receipts, making it “revenue-positive for the Exchequer.”

[Please note that the report comes from Animation UK – which advocates for the UK broadcast animation industry. It’s not an Animation Alliance UK report – we advocate for independent animation filmmaking.]
