The Market

Many business owners do not see their day to day activity as anything out of the ordinary. Therefore, it comes as a surprise to realise that certain elements of their work can qualify for significant tax credits (or rebates), which can help fund the technological advances companies may need to remain competitive. The most common sectors for successful, substantial claims are Manufacturing, Engineering, and Software/IT companies, however R&D activity is also found in:

 

* Food and drink producers

* Breweries

* Telecoms

* Waste recycling

* Textiles

* Printing

* Paint and adhesive

Please note:

• Failed products/ventures can also qualify!
• Loss making? – you still qualify!

As post Brexit Britain takes shape, innovation and efficiency will be of great importance to UK companies. For many companies this will require significant investment in R&D just to remain competitive.
