Who We Are
Grantica provides specialised tax relief advisory services for production companies undertaking many creative endeavours. Our expertise in legal and financial areas ensures your tax claims are handled with precision and compliance.
What We Do
Many production companies are unaware of the tax relief available for the theatrical, film, video games, animation, television, museum and galleries exhibitions, and orchestral productions they’ve already invested in. We help you unlock these opportunities, advising on how to claim tax relief effectively and maximize your financial returns.
Our Results
Whilst each Creative Industry scheme has its own relief calculation, most schemes can offer 20% of your qualifying expenditure as a tax refund, reduction, or cash credit, based on your profit or loss figure.

The GTTRF Toolkit
Grantica has issued the GTTRF Toolkit that provides a systematic assessment methodology to standardise the evaluation of UK Theatre tax relief claims. The GTTRF Toolkit consists of three distinct but interlinked components:
GTTRF: the Grantica Theatre Framework outlines the eight-step assessment process that underpins GTTRF. Each step represents a key phase in the preparation and assessment of a Theatre tax relief claim on behalf of a claimant company, from gathering information through to submission.
Guidelines on the Application of the GTTRF Toolkit: the GTTRF Guidelines provide practical guidance on how to use the GTTRF Toolkit, including the scope of the GTTRF Toolkit, prerequisites for its application, and instructions for using the GTTRF Assessment Methodology effectively and consistently when evaluating Theatre tax relief claims.
GTTRF Assessment Methodology: the GTTRF Assessment Methodology contains a structured set of assessment questions aligned to each of the eight GTTRF steps, with each step led by the appropriate expert (Creative/Technical, Financial/Tax, or Compliance/Audit) to ensure thorough scrutiny of all claim components. This detailed methodology supports a consistent, evidence-based evaluation of Theatre tax relief claims and forms the basis of the assessor’s review.
After completing the GTTRF Assessment Methodology, Grantica issues the Certified Theatre Assessment Report, certifying the outcome of the assessment.
