You don't need to wait months for payment from HMRC

If you’re producing films, TV, developing video games, animation, shows or exhibitions, Adsum's TaxOS software, combined with our expert team -- including former HMRC officers -- will take care of the entire tax credit claim process for you. We’ll deal with HMRC on your behalf and, when your claim is submitted, you can access the funds instantly via a pre-approved credit limit to the value of your claim.

Don't wait for HMRC

How Adsum helped fund a short film series

“The process with Adsum was really quick and straight forward. We enquired on the Tuesday and the funds were in our account by the end of Thursday meaning we could pay our costs and continue with our next series of films. Who knows how long it would have taken if we waited for HMRC.”
