R&D tax credits explained
Rewarding innovation and fuelling growth, R&D tax credits have the power to transform your business.

What are R&D tax credits?

How do R&D tax credits work?

Who qualifies for R&D tax credits?
How much is an R&D tax credit claim worth?
When you deduct your enhanced expenditure from your taxable profits, or add it to your loss, it will result in:
a Corporation Tax reduction if you are profit-making
a cash credit if you are loss-making
or a combination of the two

R&D tax credit calculator
Your exact return will depend on your R&D qualifying costs and activities that our expert team identify. The below R&D tax credit calculation example will estimate what it could be worth:
To reward businesses for their investment, the government allows you to enhance your qualifying expenditure.
PROFIT MAKING
£X (amount spend on R&D) x 130% (enhancement rate) = 1.3 x £X = £Y
£Y x 19% (Corporation Tax rate) = £Z
£Z / £X = 25%
LOSS MAKING
£X (amount end on R&D) x 130% (enhancement rate) = £Y
£X + £Y (enhancement) = £YY (enhanced expenditure)
£YY x 14.5% (surrender rate) = £Z
£YY / £X = 33.35%
