The UK's development industry is calling for tax relief, but why? Last chance to vote

How would dev tax breaks help? Have your say

MCV Staff 24th February 2010 Development News

This week’s Develop Jury turns its attention to the ongoing issue of development tax breaks for British game studios.

Though the chance of a UK development tax break plan have fluctuated dramatically over the past twelve months, we want to know if the industry believes such a scheme would actually help.

We ask:

How much of a practical impact would development tax breaks have on UK studios?

Developers and industry members can send their answers to rob.crossley@intentmedia.co.uk, while the comments section below is open to all.
