What are R&D Tax Credits?

R&D Tax Credits are a government incentive designed to reward UK companies that invest in innovation. If your business has developed new products, processes, or services — or improved existing ones — you could be eligible for significant tax relief.

Under the current merged R&D scheme, most companies can recover around 15–16% of qualifying expenditure, rising to up to 27% for loss-making, R&D-intensive SMEs. The average claim for SMEs is around £50,000.

What qualifies as R&D?

Any project that seeks to achieve an advance in science or technology by resolving uncertainty can qualify. This applies across all industries and sectors.
