TAX RELIEF
What is MUSEUM AND GALLERIES tax relief?
Museums and Galleries Tax Relief (MGTR) is a tax incentive introduced by the UK government to support the cultural sector. It allows eligible museums and galleries to claim tax relief on qualifying expenditure incurred on exhibitions and certain other activities. The relief aims to encourage the creation and touring of high-quality exhibitions, fostering cultural engagement and economic growth.
Tax Relief on Qualifying Spend
Under MGTR, eligible museums and galleries can claim relief on qualifying expenditure related to the development, preparation, and tour of temporary and touring exhibitions. Qualifying expenditure may include costs associated with:
​
-design
​
-construction
​
-curation
​
-transport
​
-insurance of exhibitions
Be aware of the time limits
There are time limits involved in the MGTR tax relief claim. We will manage the whole process, ensuring you keep to the time limits, but also identify if there are any opportunities to file a claim from a prior year.
