UK games firms welcome tax breaks
Simon:
The chancellor's decision to offer tax breaks to the UK gaming industry has been welcomed as "fantastic news" by those who work in it.
Tiga, the trade association that represents UK games developers said tax relief would create 3,500 more jobs over the next five years.
It would allow the UK to "compete on a global stage," said Tiga chief executive Richard Wilson.

A good career choice for maths graduates Sam! Even moreso for astrophysicists! :laugh:
