Leeds City Council is asked to provide recoverable grant assistance to Leeds Culture Trust to cover claims to HMRC for both Theatre Tax Relief and Museums and Galleries Exhibition Tax Relief for financial years 2022-23 and 2023-24. This will allow Leeds Culture Trust to maximise the amount of funding they can invest in the Year of Culture programme in-year.
Executive Board is asked to make the decisions exempt from Call In due to the short timeframe for providing grant assistance.
