R&D IN A NUTSHELL
R&D is a government supported scheme introduced in 2000 and gives qualifying companies payable tax credits and/or corporation tax reductions for qualifying Research and Development activity.
The scheme availability is very broad and applies to almost every industry sector. It isn’t just for those creating new products or new ideas, it often relates to the development of processes or services within your business, or just improving existing products, processes or services.

“R&D tax relief can amount to thousands of pounds every year, making a huge difference to a business.”
David Collins – Tax Director NMT Tax
TRANSPARENT CLAIM PROCESS
The relief is a Government supported scheme with a high level of transparency throughout the
claim process. SME’s* are offered the most generous amount of relief through the scheme as
they can claim back up to 33p for every £1 spent on R&D.
*Generally speaking an SME is a company with less than 500 employees, but there are a
number of finer details that need to be considered to know for sure.
DID YOU KNOW…
CASH BENEFITS
R&D tax relief can offer significant cash benefits; up to 33% of eligible expenditure can be recovered, even if the company is loss making.
STAFF COSTS
Expenditure such as staff costs, materials consumed and subcontracted activity can be included in an R&D tax relief claim.
MISCONCEPTIONS
Because of common misconceptions the regime is underutilised. What companies often regard as ‘just everyday challenges’ can often qualify.
NO UPFRONT FEE
Once a claim has been approved, the relief arrives as a cash repayment and/or a corporation tax reduction within 28 days. Even better, when you’re making a claim for the first time, you can typically claim R&D tax relief for your last two completed accounting periods.
