Recover development costs through the UK R&D tax relief scheme.
Our R&D tax specialists prepare compliant claims that reduce corporation tax liability or generate a payable tax credit for UK businesses undertaking development activities.
Research & Development Tax Credits
What is R&D Tax Relief
R&D tax relief is a UK government incentive that reduces corporation tax for businesses investing in research and development. The scheme allows businesses to recover part of the costs involved in developing new or improved products, processes, or technology.
Qualifying R&D expenditure can include staff salaries, third party costs, materials used in development, and certain software used during R&D projects.
For businesses that are not yet profitable, the scheme can provide a payable cash credit based on eligible R&D spending.
