R&D Tax Credit Eligibility

What is the R&D Tax Credit Eligibility?

The R&D Tax Credit Eligibility programme is specifically designed for high-growth small, medium-sized (SMEs Small business R&D) and large companies. As well as those who have incurred significant costs. By investing heavily in developing new, or significantly improving existing, technology, techniques, formulas, software, products and services.

The programme was developed to encourage greater R&D spending in the UK. But with the goal of increasing innovation within the economy.

If a small or large company is making a claim for the first time. The company claiming generally has the ability to claim for the last two completed accounting
periods.

For those SMEs that are profitable, the R&D relief works by reducing corporate tax liability. But if SMEs are in loss positions, they also have the opportunity to make claims and request a payable cash credit. Which can be reinvested back into their company.

The R&D tax credit relief is beneficial to companies to accelerate its R&D activities. This may include hiring new staff to increase the growth of a company.

For companies to take advantage of the programme, they must be a “Limited” company. Which is subject to corporation tax and have carried out R&D activities by investing monies into R&D projects. But if you are uncertain whether you qualify, check out our R&D 6 Ps of Eligibility
