R&D Tax Credits

Reclaim up to 33% of R&D costs.

R&D Tax Credits are part of a Government scheme that allows SMEs to reclaim up to 33% of the amount spent on Research and Development – even if you make a loss.

The average SME claim in the UK is £45,000 and covers items such as:

  • Staffing Costs
  • Subcontracted R&D
  • Consumable Items
  • Software Tools
  • External Workforce

You may potentially qualify for R&D Tax Credits if you have less than 500 employees and a turnover of less than £100 million, or you have Assets of less than £86 million.

But first you need to prove to HMRC that your project achieved a technical or scientific advance by overcoming an uncertainty that other professionals in the field could not.

We have a great track-record in working with HMRC and understand the complexities of their requirements.

Based on the budget announcement on the 17th November 2022 the R&D tax credit legislation is due to change and become less generous for SMEs. We will update this page with more information as soon as we have the detail.
