TIGA launches cultural test survey
TIGA, the trade association representing the UK games
industry, has today published an online survey to canvas the opinion of
developers and digital publishers 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 and it wants the views of developers, digital
publishers and the wider UK gaming community.
The survey can be completed at

Dr Richard Wilson said:
“Throughout October and until the deadline on the 29th,
TIGA will continue to ask for opinions on the cultural test with a view to
putting these forward to the Government. The cultural test is a critical part of
the Games Tax Relief exercise. The
survey is a simple way for developers to make their opinions known and we hope
many of them take this opportunity.”
