If you’re looking for Accountants for Entertainment, Media, and TV companies, you’re in the right place.
🎬 The Unique Challenges of the Entertainment, Media & TV Industry
Running a creative business in entertainment, TV, or media isn’t simple.
You deal with:
- Freelance-heavy teams
- Complicated contracts and royalties
- Sporadic project income
- Cross-border productions
- Tight margins
- Fast-changing tax rules
Every show, film, campaign, or tour comes with its own financial headaches.
Generic accountants simply don’t have the knowledge to guide you through them.
That’s why specialist Accountants for Entertainment, Media & TV like Jungle Tax are essential for your success.
⚡ Real Problems the Industry Faces (And How Jungle Tax Solves Them)
1. Inconsistent and Unpredictable Cash Flow
Problem:
Production funding comes in chunks. Sponsorships delay. Royalties trickle in slowly.
Meanwhile, you’re paying actors, crew, editors, marketers, venues, and insurance.
How Jungle Tax Helps:
✅ Set up project-based cash flow forecasting
✅ Structure payment milestones and invoicing schedules properly
✅ Help you manage funding gaps without crisis borrowing
At Jungle Tax, we help entertainment and TV businesses stay liquid and survive between projects.
2. Confusing VAT and Cross-Border Taxation
Problem:
You shoot in London, post-produce in Canada, license rights in Germany.
Which VAT rules apply?
What about withholding tax? Double tax treaties?
How Jungle Tax Helps:
✅ Advise on VAT treatment for international services
✅ Help with VAT reclaims across multiple countries
✅ Structure contracts to minimise overseas tax liabilities
As expert Accountants for Entertainment, Media & TV, we untangle global tax chaos.
3. Freelancer Risk and Employment Law Issues
Problem:
Agencies, production houses, and studios heavily rely on freelance talent — but IR35 and employment law crackdowns are real threats.
How Jungle Tax Helps:
✅ Review contractor agreements for IR35 compliance
✅ Advise on when PAYE or umbrella setups are required
✅ Protect you from HMRC penalties and backdated tax claims
In the creative industries, we make sure your flexibility doesn’t become a financial liability.
4. Lost Opportunities for Creative Industry Tax Reliefs
Problem:
So many entertainment and media businesses miss out on HUGE government tax breaks because their accountant doesn’t even mention them.
How Jungle Tax Helps:
✅ Claim Film, TV, Animation, Children’s TV and Theatre Tax Reliefs
✅ Identify R&D tax credits for media tech innovations
✅ Maximise deductions across IP creation and development projects
As your specialist Accountants for Entertainment, Media & TV, we proactively secure the reliefs you deserve — and dramatically reduce your tax bill.
5. No Strategic Financial Advice for Growth
Problem:
Many creative companies stay stuck in feast-and-famine cycles because no one helps them plan properly.
How Jungle Tax Helps:
✅ Build growth roadmaps based on real numbers
✅ Advise on scaling from project-based to retainer-based income
✅ Help prepare businesses for investment, mergers, or acquisition
We don’t just “do the books” — we help future-proof your creative business.
