You didn't make a film to do tax admin.
Prepare, check and track your UK film tax credit claim in one place — from the budget to the BFI to HMRC — for a fixed price.
Fixed price per film. No cut of your credit.
Let us run around for you.
A cost report that matches the bank. A cultural test scored from the script. An auditor's report, a statutory declaration signed in front of a solicitor, a BFI portal, then a tax return with its own supplementary page. Every one of them lands on the producer — usually at the kitchen table, usually after wrap.
Chasing crew for passport scans. Collecting signed contracts. Booking a solicitor for your statutory declaration. Keeping an eye on the BFI and HMRC so you don't have to. You make the decisions; Filmhorse does the legwork.
