What does the UK offer?
- A national credit. 34% for film and high-end television, 39% for children's and animated work, and 53% for independent films with core expenditure up to £23.5 million. See how casting relates to UK tax relief.
- A deep pool of actors. British and Irish actors, across a wide range of regional voices.
- One casting system. Agents, Spotlight and Equity cover the whole country, so a search from London reaches Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the English regions. See how casting works in the UK.
- Routes for actors from overseas. They can work in the UK on a Creative Worker visa or the three-month concession.
