Tax Planning for Creatives

Smarter Tax Strategies Designed Around the Way You Work 
​

Let’s face it, tax can feel like a creative block in itself. You’re managing projects, clients, and deadlines, and suddenly HMRC wants a slice of your time and your income. 

​

At Creative and Numbers, we specialise in Tax Planning for creatives, helping freelancers, agencies, and studios keep more of what they earn while staying fully compliant with UK tax rules. 

​

We’ll guide you through the creative industry’s unique tax opportunities, from allowable expenses to industry reliefs, so you can stop worrying about what you owe and focus on what you create.

Nick Jay

Director

I have over a decade of experience in film directing, acting, and producing, I'm thrilled to say I launched my first company in 2024 called 76 Lucky Street, alongside my two talented partners. Our debut script is a horror feature film, backed by distribution and production partners in London and Los Angeles. I'm grateful for the guidance and support of Creative & Numbers, who've been instrumental in my journey. They have gone above and beyond advising me over the years. I'm excited to further develop our partnership with C&N and continue to bring innovative and original stories to life on screen
