Claiming R&D tax credits
R&D tax credits can provide an important source of funding through cash reimbursement or tax deduction for companies developing products, processes and services. It’s one of the biggest tax reliefs available to SMEs and can be worth up to 33.35% of a company’s R&D expenditure.
The good news is that R&D claims can be made retrospectively. You can file a retrospective claim for any R&D activity carried out in the last 2 years.
