With the average company claiming in excess of £50,000, can you afford to miss out?

Research and Development (“R&D”) tax credits can be a very valuable asset for companies* who may not actually believe that the activities they undertake on a daily or project by project basis, are defined as eligible R&D in its purest sense.

The term ‘R&D’ conjures up images of employees wearing white coats conducting experiments in laboratories, and whilst such projects would likely qualify for the credit, so will a multitude of other projects in a wide range of industries.

Examples of industries that may involve eligible R&D are detailed below:

  • Manufacturing and Engineering
  • Food and Beverage
  • Software Development
  • Agriculture
  • Consulting
  • Medical
