Offset your development costs with a R&D tax Credit
HMRC introduced the R&D Tax Incentive to help companies innovate and grow by allowing them to offset some of the costs of eligible research and development (R&D) against their corporation tax bill.
Claim up to 27p for every £1 spent on qualifying R&D spend:
1. Become eligible
Your R&D Tax Incentive application is far more likely to succeed when
guided by experienced consultants. We’ll help you plan and scope your
project, across any industry, to ensure it meets the necessary criteria for eligibility.
2. Build your vision with us
Our scoping sessions lay the foundation for project success. A well-defined scope leads to more accurate time and budget estimates and provides complete clarity on what will be delivered.
3. Claim your R&D Rebate
Once your project is complete, you may be eligible to claim up to 33p for every £1 spent on qualifying R&D expenditure incurred before April 2023 or up to 27p per £1 for qualifying costs from April 2023 onwards.
4. Turn innovation into ROI
By investing in innovation, you’re not just developing new products or
services, you’re setting your business up for long-term success. R&D tax credits help you recover costs, boost cashflow, and fuel your
organisation’s growth with ease.
From R&D to Market
Investing in a Research & Development project not only unlocks valuable tax benefits but also serves as a powerful catalyst for business growth. By leveraging R&D tax credits, you can offset development costs, free up capital for further innovation, and enhance your competitive edge.
Beyond financial incentives, R&D fosters long-term scalability by refining processes, improving efficiency, and driving technological advancements. With our expertise, we’ll guide you through the qualification process, ensuring compliance with HMRC criteria while maximising your claim.

What qualifies for R&D tax relief in software?
To be eligible for R&D tax relief, a software development project must tackle real scientific or technological challenges. These challenges should go beyond routine work, meaning they can't be easily solved by someone skilled in the field and there's no obvious solution using existing knowledge or tools.

What can I claim when I spend on R&D?
SMEs can claim up to 33p for every £1 spent on qualifying R&D expenditure before April 2023, or up to 27p all qualifying R&D expenditure after that point.
Large companies can claim up to 16p for every £1 spent on qualifying R&D expenditure after April 2023, or up 11p every £1 spent before then.
