CRITERIA 1

Be a limited company in the UK that is subject to corporation tax.

CRITERIA 1

Be a limited company in the UK that is subject to corporation tax.

You must also meet the necessary criteria outlined by the UK government. There are currently two types of R&D schemes in the UK; the SME scheme for small & medium-sized enterprises, and the Research and Development Expenditure Credit (RDEC) regime for large companies. The benefits differ based on the category your business falls under.

R&D Credits Explained

The R&D tax credit scheme was introduced in the UK in 2000 to encourage UK companies, both in profit or loss-making, to invest in R&D projects through the development, evolution or innovation using science and technology. The government realised that encouraging innovation is a way of improving productivity, performance and competitiveness in the UK.

R&D Credits Explained

Businesses that spend money on developing/improving products, services or processes can claim R&D Tax Credit in the form of cash awards or corporate tax reductions.
R&D Tax Credits can be awarded to businesses in any sector, which is why the qualifying activities can range from developing products in a laboratory to refining specific manufacturing processes. The activities need to be carried out with the aim to advance science and technology and the project shouldn’t be easily solved or completed by a professional in the same field.

R&D tax credits vary depending on your Research and Development spend. To make an R&D credit calculation, you need to identify your “enhanced expenditure”. Once you deduct your enhanced expenditure from your taxable profits or add it to your loss, it will result in:

  • A Corporation Tax reduction if you are making a profit
  • A cash credit if you are incurring losses
  • A combination of the two
