R&D Tax Relief is a UK Government backed incentive designed to encourage innovation and increase spending on Research and Development activities for companies operating in the UK.
For SMEs:
- A deduction of 230% of the amount spent on R&D can be made from taxable profits, reducing the corporation tax due.
For loss making companies:
- The scheme allows up to 33.35% of a company’s R&D spend to be recovered as a cash repayment.
However, claims are often overlooked.
Business owners often; over-estimate the level of innovation that is required in order to claim, don’t know about the relief, or simply suspect that it is too good to be true!
