Why haysmacintyre?
One of our key charity sub-sectors is Arts & Culture. We audit over 40 organisations in the sector including museums and cultural venues, theatres, performing arts and educational charities. 25 of our audit clients are Arts Council National Portfolio Organisations (NPO).
Our extensive knowledge of the arts and culture sector means we have a deep understanding of our clients’ businesses and the environment in which they operate. We add value to our client relationships by highlighting sector issues and sharing our knowledge and experience of working with others in the sector. We are proud that we build long-lasting relationships with our clients as a result of our proactive and supportive approach.
Our team of arts and culture specialists are passionate about the sector, and we can provide a full range of services including audit, tax compliance and advisory services and outsourcing. If you are looking for a new professional advisor, we would love to hear from you.
Creative sector tax reliefs are a vital source of funding for many arts and culture organisations, and in the past year we have assisted our clients to claim over £6m in creative sector tax reliefs. Our tax team are specialists in this field, and they work with our clients to maximise the value of their claims, while minimising the risk of challenge from HMRC. We recognise how important these tax credits are to each client’s cash flow, and so work hard to ensure that their claims are submitted as quickly as possible.
We were encouraged by the positive announcements in the Spring 2024 budget about setting permanently higher rates for reliefs and removing the sunset clause for Museums and Galleries Exhibition Tax Relief. If you think you are eligible for any of the creative sector tax reliefs, or if you would like more information about our service and fees in this area please get in touch with us.
We really appreciated the time that the haysmacintyre team spent working with us on our application; they were patient and helpful, and dedicated senior resources so as to provide expert opinions that greatly helped with the process. They consistently met the HMRC deadlines, and were on hand at all times to answer any related queries that we had. All in all, they made a stressful process much more manageable, and we were very happy with the service we received.
