R&D Tax Relief

R&D Tax Relief is a generous incentive to encourage innovation within the UK, and to attract investment from overseas

Talk to us

The UK Government’s Research and Development (R&D) Tax Relief is a way of giving companies involved in innovation tax relief on the costs involved. The system also helps make the UK attractive to overseas businesses.

There are two distinct schemes, the SME (small and medium enterprises) scheme and the Large Company scheme. We can advise you on the differences and which scheme is relevant to your business.

R&D Tax Relief is under utilised and there are many misconceptions; that it is only applicable for traditional ‘science’ led sectors; that it’s too complex and time consuming; and that it’s only for a narrow range of R&D activities.

Our team’s strength is in their knowledge of the tax relief, the requirements of submitting a claim and their tenacity in managing the claim proces from start to a successful outcome.

How Alliotts’ R&D specialists will help you with your R&D tax relief claim

  • We’ll start by identifying areas where you are eligible to make a claim.
