Is your company engaged in research and development (R&D) activities? If so, you may be entitled to generous Government incentives which provide a tax benefit to assist companies who innovate to grow their business.
What is R&D tax relief?
R&D tax credits are a Government incentive to reward UK companies for investing in innovation. This UK tax relief is a valuable source of funding for companies to assist in their business growth and future innovations.
Companies spending money on developing new products and processes or improving existing ones may be able to claim R&D tax credits. This relief enables qualifying companies to claim back a proportion of their expenditure on R&D as tax credits, which can reduce their tax liability or provide a tax credit, offering a considerable financial advantage. The scheme is not sector specific – if you’re spending money on qualifying research and development, then you could be eligible to claim.

Effective 1 April 2023, the UK Government has implemented several reforms to the R&D tax relief scheme, focusing on reducing abusive practices and enhancing compliance. Significant among these changes is the requirement of an Additional Information Form (AIF) for all claims filed after 8 August 2023, aiding HMRC in more efficient processing of these claims.
These changes underscore the importance of working with experienced and reputable advisors.
HMRC recognises the value of these reliefs to businesses and with the recent changes in policy, now is the ideal time to review your current claim process. Ensuring that your approach aligns with the latest guidelines is crucial for compliance. A thorough review can help safeguard your claims against evolving regulations and ensure that your company is fully informed.
