Issue off the table for three or four years.
UK game development suffered another blow today after the government said much sought after tax breaks could be years away.
According to GameSpot, culture minister Ed Vaizey said during yesterday’s Culture Department select committee meeting he could put tax breaks on a “three or four year hiatus” – suggesting the issue is a no go until the next general election.
The move comes after the Conservative Party promised “unequivocally” to introduce game tax breaks “in our first budget” – that was when it was in opposition. How things change.
