Faster, cheaper, stronger, more scalable…? Would you like some tax relief to enable that?

R&D Tax Relief - The Facts, Common Misconceptions & Benefits
9th June 2022

Is your team always thinking about how to make a product or process faster, cheaper, stronger, more scalable, etc? Do you explore anything and everything to try and problem solve? It is highly likely that these activities qualify for R&D Tax Relief.

The term ‘R&D’ implies exotic, hi-tech, laboratory-based work. However, the R&D Tax Relief Scheme definition is much broader, and definitely covers those head-scratching moments when your team is faced with a problem.

Our session helps to de-mystify the process of capturing development activity, and how to structure various R&D Reliefs to create a virtuous cycle of funding, and how to future-proof claims against changes on the horizon.

R&D is the most generous tax relief there is for SME’s
Most businesses are doing it to some extent… it doesn’t need the people in white coats to be researching for you to be doing R&D….
Are you changing a product or a process? Are you overcoming a problem…. It’s probably R&D.
The R&D Scheme is a tax-free reward for the ‘investment’ of the costs of undertaking development.
Whilst there are changes on the horizon to tighten the scheme against spurious claims, our process is tested and proven to safely maximise claim value for reduces risks.
The R&D Schemes are here to stay, they form a key part of the UK industrial Strategy.
