Enhance HETV tax incentives to specifically benefit public service broadcasters and independent producers
Conclusion
Domestic HETV needs to be supported through enhanced tax incentives just as independent film has been. To tackle the issues facing domestic production, any increase in HETV tax relief must not merely incentivise streamers to spend more but specifically benefit public service broadcasters and independent producers. This might be done by limiting the uplift to HETV productions at the lower end of the budget range; however, further work is needed to build the economic case for this intervention.
