Companies that invest money into products, processes and services; or innovating existing ones are eligible to take advantage of R&D tax credits, which is administered by HMRC. When a company spends money on innovation, you can claim for R&D tax credits to receive a cash payment or reduction of corporation tax. The scope for R&D tax relief is huge and identifiable in every sector. If a business is making a claim for the first time, in most cases can submit for R&D tax relief for the last two accounting periods (subject to accounting year-end).
