Research and Development (R&D) tax credits can significantly reduce your company’s tax bill or provide a cash injection. Yet many tech businesses either miss out entirely or fail to maximise their claims.

What Are R&D Tax Credits?

The UK Government offers tax relief to businesses working on innovative projects, including:

  • Software development
  • Product innovation
  • Technical problem-solving
  • Process improvements

If your team is creating new technology or overcoming technical challenges, you may qualify for R&D tax credits—even if the project wasn’t successful.

How Much Can You Claim?

Eligible businesses can reclaim:

  • Up to 33% of qualifying R&D costs for loss-making SMEs
  • Significant corporation tax reductions for profitable companies

Typical qualifying expenses include:

  • Staff salaries for technical roles
  • Materials and consumables
  • Subcontracted R&D work
  • Prototyping and testing costs
