The UK government offer an R&D tax relief incentive scheme for limited businesses.
The qualifying criteria are varied and often overlooked by eligible businesses.
Eligibility – Has your business done something new lately?
At the core of all possible claims is that your company has done something new, something that benefits your business and may also benefits others. Every day organisations dedicate significant management time to advancing all aspects of the business from technology to operating procedures, from customer service to dealing with waste. Whatever the advancement it could lead to a possible successful claim.
Here are a few qualifying questions to ask:
Has your business:
– Created or adapted new machinery, software, hardware or office equipment?
– Advanced software, operating systems, working practices or staff development programmes?
– Developed new product or products, recipes, formulas for science or algorithm’s?
– Designed new technology, processes, environmentally-friendly packaging?
– Innovated in any way?
Just some of the questions to ask but indeed not the only things to consider.
