R&D Tax Credits

Companies carrying out research and development may be eligible for Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credits.

Can my company benefit from R&D tax credits?

All companies undertaking R&D may qualify to claim a deduction when calculating their taxable profits of:

130% in respect of qualifying expenditure for LEs, reducing the corporation tax bill accordingly.

A summary of the scheme and a case study are available HERE

The rules allow universities to act as subcontractors for R&D.

See HMRC and Department for Business Innovation & Skills guidelines. Please consult with a qualified tax advisor.
