R&D Tax Relief
Research and Development (R&D) tax relief is designed to provide financial support to companies engaged in innovation and the development of new processes, products and services.
If your project aligns with the established criteria for R&D, you could potentially claim R&D Tax Credits.
Outlined below is an overview of the criteria as well as the assorted types of reliefs that might be accessible.
Projects eligible for R&D Tax Relief are aimed at making significant strides in scientific or technological advancements.
It is important to note that this relief is not applicable if the innovation pertains to:
- Celfyddydau
- Dyniaethau
- Gwyddorau cymdeithasol, gan gynnwys economeg
At hynny, dylai'r prosiect fod yn berthnasol i fasnach eich cwmni, boed yn fenter sy'n bodoli eisoes neu'n ddarpar fenter sy'n deillio o ganfyddiadau ymchwil a datblygu.
Er mwyn gwneud hawliad llwyddiannus, mae angen ymhelaethu ar sut mae'r prosiect:
- Wedi ymdrechu am gynnydd o fewn ei barth
- Wynebu a goresgyn ansicrwydd gwyddonol neu dechnolegol
- Endeavoured to tackle challenges that professionals in the field couldn’t readily resolve
R&D Tax Reliefs are available for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SME’s) with an R&D Expenditure Credit (RDEC) available for large companies.
An SME is defined as a company with a:
- Staff count of under 500
- Turnover of less than €100m or the balance sheet total of below €86m
SME’s can deduct an additional 86% of qualifying expenditure in addition to the normal 100% deduction from their annual profits.
Large companies claim an expenditure credit on qualifying expenditure.
From 8 August 2023 HMRC require an additional information form to be submitted in advance of an R&D claim.
