Below are the details about what is available for businesses like yours with R&D projects, as well as how we can help you secure financial support from the government.

For SMEs with R&D Spend

The R&D tax relief available to small and medium-sized businesses has improved greatly since it was first introduced two decades ago. The generous enhancement rate allows tax liabilities to be significantly lowered, creating large tax repayments where tax was already paid.

Where a loss is created or has risen, the loss for a specific period can be surrendered in return for a cash payment, even if your business never paid tax to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). The scheme is not meant to encourage tax avoidance but instead to boost innovation.

For a large company

The large company regime has also improved over time. HMRC offers the Research and Development Expenditure Credit (RDEC), which big enterprises can claim as a grant against loss rather than within the tax line. Doing so can improve visibility. Furthermore, loss-makers can apply to HMRC for cash payments.

Recent improvements have removed the stipulation that the R&D tax relief only applied if the company was paying corporation tax. However, the Research and Development Expenditure Credit does not have this tax position requirement for cashback.

How to Claim the Tax Incentive

Many UK-based businesses worry that they do not meet the requirements for R&D tax relief or are unclear about how to apply for it. Yet many of these small, medium, and large enterprises qualify and are missing out on the tax break that can make their projects easier and better.

HMRC provides specific criteria as to what qualifies for R&D tax credits. Specifically, it must be an advance in science, and our experts can determine if your project meets the qualifying activity.

Among the misconceptions is that businesses in traditional sectors do not qualify.

Crushing eligibility myths...

1.

No company is too small to get an R&D tax credit. There aren’t any minimum thresholds for making a claim.

2.

It doesn’t matter whether your R&D spending was successful or not. If you invested in creating a new product that failed when it hit the market, it is irrelevant. From the perspective of HMRC, it makes no difference. As long as the initial expense qualified as research and development under their definitions, you can claw money back.

3.

Some businesses fall into the trap of believing that it’s too complicated or takes too much time.
