FAQ

What activities are eligible as R&D for tax purposes?
R&D tax relief is available in all sector. From HMRC’s perspective, R&D starts when a project seeks an advance in science or technology. Uncertainty in the success of innovation is required. The R&D is considered to be complete at the point at which the uncertainties have been overcome.
For example, the eligible projects can seek to create a new process or product. Your company can also work towards the improvement of an existing technology. Failure or not full achievement of the project is absolutely worth considering when looking for R&D, as activities working towards an advance are eligible even if they do not succeed.

How much can I benefit from R&D Tax relief?
Profit making SMEs can claim back 26% of eligible R&D expenditure through benefitting from corporation tax relief. Loss making SMEs can claim back up to 33% of eligible R&D by surrendering their losses for a payables tax credit which means cash directly given to the business. If your company is leading grant funded projects, whilst this can prevent you from claiming under the SME scheme, you can still claim under the RDEC (Large Company) scheme which can provide you an additional 8.8% back through a taxable credit.
