R&D Tax Credits

Be rewarded for investing in innovation. See how Research & Development Tax Credits could help transform your business.

What are R&D Tax Credits?

Research and development (R&D) tax credits are a government incentive designed to reward UK companies for investing in innovation. They are a valuable source of relief or cash for businesses to ultimately invest in growth – for example hiring new staff - and accelerating their existing R&D.

How do R&D Tax Credits Work?

Whatever sector you are in, if you’re a UK business and are spending money on developing new products, processes or services, or even enhancing existing ones, you most likely are eligible to make a R&D Tax Credit Claim. This can be in the form of money off your existing corporation tax bill, or a cash lump sum payment.
