Research & Development
We help UK-based businesses determine whether the UK is the best country to perform R&D activities and claim this relief
Launched by the UK government in 2000, the R&D tax credit scheme aims to incentivise and recognise scientific and technological advancements within UK businesses. Over time, the relief available has evolved, yet many companies remain unaware of their eligibility and are missing out on substantial financial benefits—often amounting to tens or even hundreds of thousands of pounds.
We will perform a full assessment to establish whether your business qualifies for this relief. We will also assess which jurisdiction offers the best tax relief based on your activities.
R&D Assessment
To qualify for R&D Tax Credits, companies must engage in projects that meet specific criteria. The research and development activities should aim to achieve technological or scientific advancement and resolve uncertainties that are not readily solvable by professionals in the respective field.
Eligible R&D Costs
Eligible R&D costs include staff salaries, consumables, software, subcontractor costs, and certain overheads directly related to the R&D project.
These costs must be exclusively incurred for qualifying R&D activities.
Benefits and Impact
Up to 20% for profit making companies
Up to 16.2% for loss-making companies
*Claims need to be made within 2 years following the end of the accounting year of the business
