What Qualifies as R&D?
There are two key pieces of criteria in determining whether you are eligible for R&D Tax Credits: innovation and uncertainty.
A project is likely to qualify if it involves innovation through risk-taking in development, or if it improves a product, process, or service.
Bear in mind that the definition of R&D tax relief is broader than the traditional understanding of R&D. The full definition also includes materials, processes, designs, products, and services.
Many companies are simply unaware that what they are doing makes them eligible for R&D. Any incorporated company is likely to have qualifying R&D for tax purposes if you have been engaged in any of the following areas.
New product development
Software development,
Biotechnology
Architecture
Automotive/Engineering
Improvement in manufacturing
Design
Investigative work
Source of funding
How much can be claimed?
This will depend on eligible projects, activities, costs and the R&D scheme under which the claim is made. This can be a significant source of funding for the company.

How it works
Background to R&D tax relief
The scheme provides tax relief on expenditure incurred in seeking an advance in science and technology or an appreciable improvement in processes, materials, designs, products, and services through the resolution of scientific and technological uncertainties.
At first glance, this can look daunting. Let’s put your mind at ease.
This can include any activities that improve the manufacture of existing products or processes. Or the delivery of services, as well as devising new ones.
R&D is not restricted to those in white coats working in a lab. You are more likely to be eligible than you think.
