We have extensive experience of not only the UK tax credit regime, but also, amongst others, Ireland Belgium, Finland, Malta, Portugal and South Africa. As such we are well placed to assist producers in the financial planning stage in looking at ways to maximise cross border tax credit and rebate efficiency. This includes looking at cross border production and/or post opportunities which might not have originally been considered. We aim to put our practical experience as producers – we have done this on our own films – to work for our clients.
Anchor believes that acting as both the accounting partner for the producers, and as auditor creates a potential conflict of interest. As such we do not provide tax credit Opinions or statutory audits. We have partnered with a leading firm of chartered accountants, who have a large media team who can provide this service very cost effectively, or we can work with any other suitably qualified accountants of the producer’s or financier’s choosing.
