R&D Tax Credit

« Back to Glossary Index

Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credit is a government incentive that allows companies to claim tax relief or cash repayments for spending on qualifying research and development activities. If your company is working to create new products, processes, or services—or improve existing ones—you may be able to claim. The relief can significantly reduce your Corporation Tax bill or even generate a cash payment if you’re making a loss.
