Is there a minimum amount of money a company needs to spend to make an R&D tax credit claim?
Quite simply, no is the answer, your company does not need to have spent a minimum amount on qualifying R&D (research and development) to submit an R&D tax credit claim.
R&D tax credit eligibility criteria
The following is a list of the eligibility criteria for R&D tax credits.
To make a claim, you must:
Be a UK Limited company subject to Corporation Tax.
Not be in administration or liquidation.
Carrying out R&D eligible activities.
There are other criteria, such as grants and subcontracting, which must also be considered, when making an R&D claim. For this reason, professional advice is recommended when preparing your claim.
