How can you use your R&D tax relief?

Depending on your business’s circumstances, you could benefit from:

  • Corporation Tax Savings: Offset your R&D claim against your corporation tax bill for the same financial year.

  • Cash Rebate: Claim a repayment of corporation tax already paid by submitting an amended return.

  • Loss Relief: Carry forward R&D-related losses to offset against future profits, or surrender them for group relief.

  • Cash Credit: If your company is loss-making, convert your enhanced R&D losses into a cash payment from HMRC. Benefit from a 230% tax deduction (130% uplift on qualifying costs), with the potential to receive up to 33p back for every £1 spent on eligible R&D—at a cash credit rate of 14.5%.

Maximise your innovation investment—use our R&D tax calculator today to discover your potential tax relief and cash benefits.

Large Companies

Companies which do not meet the SME criteria are classified as ‘Large’ and can claim under the Research and Development Expenditure Credit (‘RDEC’). The exact rate of cash benefit available depends on the period for which a claim is being made, due to changes in the prevailing corporation tax rate. The maximum rate is currently 13% (qualifying expenditure incurred after 1 April 2020).
