Research and Development (R&D)

Research and Development (R&D) Relief is a Corporation Tax (CT) relief that may reduce your company or organisation's tax bill.

Alternatively, if your company or organisation is small or medium-sized, you may be able to choose to receive a tax credit instead, by way of a cash sum paid by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

But your company or organisation can only claim R&D Relief if it's liable for CT.

From 1st April 2014, the rate for loss making SMEs was increased from 11% to 14.5%.
