Arts Council launches new support for claiming Museums and Galleries Exhibition Tax Relief

The Arts Council’s new Museums and Galleries Exhibition Tax Relief (MGETR) Support Service is designed to enable more organisations to benefit from this relief. The support service pack will help address some of the common questions and misconceptions associated with the tax relief, as well as providing a straightforward, step-by-step guide to preparing and making a claim.

The Museums and Galleries Exhibition Tax Relief is an important source of additional funds that is applicable to a large number of arts and cultural organisations. Up to 40p in each £ could be claimed as cash-based support to invest in your organisation’s ambitions.

In addition to the new guide, which can be downloaded from the ACE website, companies based in England can also benefit from a new helpdesk service, which will provide them with direct access to expert guidance from RSM, who are delivering this service for the Arts Council.

To access the helpdesk service, you’ll need to register for the guide on the ACE website. You will then receive instructions on how to book a call. The MGETR Support Service will run for an initial six months, but may be extended following a review.
