TIGA, a trade association for the UK video games industry, is calling for an independent games tax credit to support game development.

As part of a 10-point manifesto, TIGA proposes that the UK industry launch an independent games tax credit (IGTC), a new "National Games Accelerator" to enable more start-ups to scale up, and a video games investment fund to create "2660 additional game development jobs by 2028."

TIGA's Manifesto – based on "new and recent primary research, surveys of TIGA members and the wider video games industry, together with numerous discussions with game developers" – also calls for an industrial secondments programme to enable 20 lecturers a year to be seconded to studios to enhance teaching in video game development and further support of apprenticeships and BTEC and T-Level education.
