Research and Development
Generous Research and Development (R&D) tax incentives are available to encourage innovation in the UK. If your company is developing new products, processes, materials or services, there is a good chance that you will be able to claim R&D relief.
The new filing deadline for R&D claims significantly reduces the time available to make and submit claims. R&D claims have to be made by the first anniversary of the filing deadline for the company's tax return (normally 2 years). Companies need to start planning now how they are going to optimise the amount to be claimed before the filing deadline.
