Tax reliefs and tax expenditures, including the introduction of any new tax relief for the unscripted production sector, are the responsibility of my cabinet colleague, the Minister for Finance.

I am aware of calls from the unscripted production sector for a tax incentive and reference was made to the unscripted production sector in Budget 2024 and understand the Minister for Finance and his officials are examining and analysing these proposals.
