Recommendation 16
16
Implement a 5% levy on SVoD UK subscriber revenue for domestic HETV production
Recommendation
We recommend that all subscription video-on-demand (SVoD) platforms that operate in the UK pay a 5% levy on their UK subscriber revenue into a cultural fund administered by the BFI to support domestic HETV production. The industry should establish this fund on a voluntary basis; however, if it does not do so within 12 months, or if there is not full compliance, the Government should introduce a statutory levy. (Recommendation, Paragraph 62)
