R&D Tax Credits
Research and development (R&D) tax credits enable companies to invest in innovative products and services. The scheme offers companies an opportunity to claim back a proportion of R&D costs,
Your company size and how your R&D activity is structured will determine how you can claim. Claims can either reduce current/future corporation tax or generate a “no strings attached” cash injection from HMRC.
Case Study:
A client review identified a failure to claim R&D tax credits. (Their former accountant had advised them they did not qualify.)
How We Helped
We identified changes to enable current and historic expenditures to be claimed for R&D tax credits.
The Outcome
We enabled the client to generate an additional £100,000 p.a. in cash flow from ongoing development.
