WHAT ARE R&D TAX CREDITS?

In 2000, the UK government introduced R&D Tax Credits to incentivise scientific and technological advancements, offering rewards to businesses investing in innovation. However, there's a notable gap between the number of eligible businesses and those claiming this relief scheme.

HMRC officially defines R&D as "R&D for tax purposes takes place when a project seeks to achieve an advance in science or technology. The activities which directly contribute to achieving this advance in science or technology through the resolution of scientific or technological uncertainty are R&D."

For more information, please refer to the HMRC website found HERE

You may be carrying out qualifying R&D activity if you; Design New Products, Develop New Services, Create New Processes, Adapting Existing Processes or focus on Product Innovation.

R&D TAX CREDIT SCHEMES

SME R&D TAX RELIEF

As an SME you can claim up to 18.6% of qualifying spend. The exact percentage depends on the business's financial position e.g. profit or loss-making.

RDEC & LARGE COMPANIES

The Research and Development Expenditure Credit (RDEC) scheme's current benefit is 20% pre-tax, so this would result in a 15% "cash benefit" to the business.
