Research & Development (R&D) tax relief

HMRC R&D tax reliefs allow businesses to offset R&D costs by either reducing their corporation tax bill or obtaining cash rebates for a loss-making business. It’s a valuable funding source and recent improvements to the R&D tax relief system, now make it more accessible and valuable for entrepreneurs and owners of growing businesses.

We have successfully claimed relief on over £4.5M of additional expenditure for our clients ranging from software development, engineering products and nutritional drinks to growing chili plants. See Research & Development tax relief or read our Claim what you are due in R&D tax relief fact sheet for more details of our specialist tax services.
