In the current climate, cash is king and maximising cash flow is paramount for businesses. For companies undertaking research and development (“R&D”), the UK Government has provided R&D tax reliefs for this expenditure. For small or medium-sized enterprise (“SME”) businesses the R&D tax relief allows companies to:
- deduct an extra 130% of their qualifying costs from their yearly profit, as well as the normal 100% deduction, to make a total 230% deduction;
- claim a tax credit if the company is loss making, worth up to 14.5% of the surrenderable loss.
To claim this relief, project within the company need to meet certain definitions for R&D.
