How To Qualify For R&D Tax Credit

When it comes to submitting an R&D tax relief claim, the first thing is to make sure that the project your company has recently undertaken definitely qualifies for R&D Tax Credits. Only then can you confidently embark on a tax relief application in an efficient manner, where you know you won’t be wasting a serious amount of time and effort.

The Incentive Behind R&D Tax Credit

Unveiled in the year 2000 by the UK government, Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credits are essentially a tax incentive that rewards companies for investing in innovation. They are a vital financial source for organisations that want to accelerate their R&D programme and expand their operations.

Any company that has spent money on developing new services, processes or products recently – or that has enhanced an existing one – is likely to qualify for R&D Tax Credits. Once a successful application has been received, the credit is offered either as a Corporation Tax reduction or as a cash payment. The great thing about this too is that the activities which qualify for R&D are incredibly broad – in fact, they span just about every industry and sector. Plus, if you’ve never claimed R&D Tax Credits before, then you can claim relief retrospectively for your last two full accounting periods.
