Does your company qualify for R&D Tax Credits 

You might be surprised at what HMRC considers an eligible ‘appreciable improvement’. Our experienced team of R&D Tax Credit specialists is here to advise you on project eligibility, uncovering opportunities you may not have thought of.

Eligibility criteria:

  • Your company is subject to Corporation Tax
  • You’ve invested in developing new processes, systems, materials, or devices
  • Even if your projects were unsuccessful or discontinued, you may still qualify

Check your R&D eligibility to see if your business qualifies for R&D Tax Relief. If you do, use our R&D Tax Credit Calculator to estimate how much you could claim.

It’s also important to be aware of the R&D claim deadline, as missing it could delay your relief. Make sure you’re on track with key dates to avoid any potential issues down the line.

R&D Tax Credit specialists for all sectors and niches

Since 2008, randd’s R&D tax consultants have been helping thousands of UK businesses to successfully claim back millions through the R&D Tax Credit schemes, including the SME scheme, RDEC scheme, and the recently merged R&D Tax Credit scheme.

The merged scheme, introduced in April 2023, simplifies the process by combining the benefits of both SME and RDEC schemes, making it easier for businesses of all sizes to claim the relief they’re entitled to.

If your business is involved in developing new products, improving existing ones, or tackling a technological challenge, you’re likely eligible for research and development tax credits. Even if your project was unsuccessful, the activities involved could still qualify.

We’ve supported businesses in a wide variety of industries, including:

Software & IT Development

Manufacturing

Construction

Engineering

Agriculture

R&D tax specialists – FAQs

Why do I need an R&D tax specialist? 

The R&D tax relief scheme is complex, especially if you’re not familiar with the process. Mistakes like including non-qualifying costs or missing eligible expenditure can lead to costly delays or an HMRC enquiry.

Getting expert advice before you submit your claim not only boosts your confidence but significantly improves the chances of a successful outcome. Our specialists ensure your claim is watertight and fully compliant with HMRC standards. Learn more about why you should use a R&D tax specialist here.

Are R&D tax experts better than ordinary accountants?

R&D Tax Credit specialists know this niche area inside and out, while regular accountants may lack the in-depth knowledge required to tackle the complexities of the scheme. We focus exclusively on R&D claims, ensuring your submission is as strong as possible. Meet our team of R&D tax experts.

How do I know whether I’m eligible for R&D Tax Credits?

You could be eligible for R&D Tax Credits if your company is subject to Corporation Tax and has invested in the development of new or improved processes, systems, products, or services – even if the project wasn’t successful. Many UK businesses qualify without realising it, which is why speaking to an R&D tax specialist or reviewing the eligibility criteria in detail can make a real difference.

To learn more, explore our guide on who is eligible for R&D Tax Credits. If you’d like confirmation tailored to your business, you can also get in touch to speak with one of our R&D Tax Credit specialists.

How do I calculate R&D tax relief?

Calculating R&D tax relief depends on several factors, including the R&D tax scheme your company falls under, your financial position, and which costs qualify under HMRC’s rules.

Under the current Merged R&D Scheme (sometimes referred to as ERIS), the value of your claim is influenced by your company’s size, profitability, and eligible R&D expenditure. Qualifying costs can include staff costs, consumables, software, and certain subcontractor expenses directly related to your R&D activities.

Because the calculation can be complex, many businesses use an R&D Tax Credit calculator to estimate their potential claim before submitting it. An experienced R&D tax adviser can also help ensure every eligible cost is included and the calculation is accurate.
