TIGA, the trade association representing theUK games industry, is urging developers and digital publishers to take part in
its online survey on the cultural test aspect of Games Tax Relief.
TIGA is working with the UK Coalition Government
to help determine the details of the test.The consultation process ends at the end of
October so it is important that developers and digital
publishers make their views on the cultural test known as soon as possible.

Dr Richard Wilson, TIGA CEO, said:
“We
do not have long to go now and we want to ensure that everyone with an opinion
on the cultural test puts their view forward.
“We
do not want any developers – whether they are members of TIGA or not – to miss
this opportunity to influence this critical part of the Games Tax Relief consultation
exercise.
“The survey is a
simple and effective way for developers to make their opinions known.”.
