We’re here to help you get the most out of the Government’s Research & Development (R&D) tax relief scheme – the UK’s most generous Corporation Tax relief.
R&D schemes and tax incentives play a significant role in the growth of enterprising startups and SMEs. In fact, there are various tax reliefs available to you that reduce your corporate tax liability. As well as the Patent Box, you could be eligible for R&D Tax Credits.
R&D Tax Credits are part of a UK Government-backed incentive designed to reward UK companies for investing in innovation. They allow eligible companies to claim back some of their expenditure on research and development activities. The tax relief, usually in the form of Corporation Tax deduction, provides businesses with a valuable source of cash to continue investing in accelerating their R&D, hiring new staff and ultimately continuing growth.
For early stage companies who may not yet be profitable, the R&D Tax Credit can be turned into a cash repayment from HMRC providing a much needed cash injection.
R&D Tax Credits work by providing companies that are pursuing innovative projects - even if they’re unsuccessful - in science and technology with Corporation Tax relief. Tax deduction is extremely beneficial for growing businesses, and the R&D tax credit scheme even enables loss-making businesses to receive money directly from the Government.
Eligible R&D tax relief claims gives SMEs:
