Is your business getting its R&D tax credits?

Tax Relief V3

Have you got a great idea and are trying to figure out how to fund it? One option that is worth exploring is HMRC's Corporation Tax: Research and Development Relief. It is worth considering if you:

  • currently pay Corporation Tax
  • the idea would make an "appreciable improvement" to an existing process or product
  • or it is a new idea based on a scientific or technological advance

An example of this could include moving from a highly paper based system to a bespoke application that facilitates your process and increases communication, quality and productivity. We have succesfully claimed for this ourselves and recommend that, for any bespoke software development, it is worth a phone call to see if it meets the criteria.

If your idea meets HMRC's guidelines and you pay Corporation tax you need to:

  • list all associated internal activites i.e. internal staff costs, use of materials, utilities etc
  • list costs associated with external activities i.e. subcontractors, purchased items
  • review items with your accountant

For the Small and Medium-sized Enterpise Scheme tax relief on allowable R&D costs is 225%. This means that for every £100 of qualifying costs spent you can deduct £125 from profit and thus reduce your Corporation Tax.

That means we get to know you and your business. We offer you a friendly, professional and efficient service, and we'll always be honest with you.
We understand that not everybody speaks fluent IT, so we try to explain things in a way that is simple and clear. We always spend as much time as is necessary explaining things to you.
If you need to talk to us about something, no matter how insignificant, we are only ever a phone call away – and we’re never too busy to make you a cup of tea and have a sit down with you in person.
We understand how frustrating it can be when things are late. When we schedule an appointment with you, we are there when you’re expecting us. If something prevents us from getting there, we always call you in advance to let you know.
Sometimes things can go wrong, but we never lie to you or try to cover something up. If things go askew we tell you what’s happened and how we plan to prevent it affecting your business.
We want you to continuously benefit from working with us. We regularly discuss your business and make suggestions for improving systems and processes wherever we can – but we never try to push you into a purchase.
When we quote a fixed price, that's always the amount we charge – you won’t find any nasty surprises on a bill from us. If you are paying by time and materials, we inform you if our approximations could change.
