  • Be a UK limited company subject to corporation tax.
  • Conduct R&D in science or technology.

Merged Scheme

The merged R&D scheme unifies the existing UK R&D tax credit schemes (SME and RDEC) into a single, streamlined program.

  • Enhanced tax relief for SMEs.
  • RDEC for large businesses and subcontractors.
  • Called ‘R&D single scheme’ or ‘simplified scheme.’
  • Similar implementation to the RDEC scheme.

Expenditure Credit (RDEC)

The RDEC scheme provides tax relief to companies subject to corporation tax, encouraging innovation through R&D investment.

  • Offers tax relief for R&D expenses.
  • Targets larger companies.
  • Encourages innovation and development.

THE R&D CREDIT TAX RATES

Current R&D tax credit rates offer significant savings for businesses investing in research and development. Many companies are unaware of their eligibility for these benefits.

  • Large companies can claim up to 10p per £1 on R&D.
  • Credit control and updates.
  • Average cashback is around £50,000.
