About Research and Development (R&D) tax relief

Research and Development (R&D) tax relief is a UK Corporation Tax relief for companies whose projects seek an advance in science or technology. HMRC administers it. For accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2024, the merged scheme gives a 20% expenditure credit, and loss-making R&D-intensive small firms can use enhanced support instead.

  • Enhanced R&D intensive support: for loss-making R&D-intensive SMEs, a total deduction of 186%.
  • Payable tax credit: a credit that is not liable to tax, worth up to 14.5% of the surrenderable loss.
  • Advance assurance: an HMRC service for SMEs claiming R&D relief for the first time.

Who it works with

Only companies chargeable to UK Corporation Tax can qualify, and the project has to aim at an advance in science or technology.
