1. Are You Missing Out on Innovation Tax Relief? If your business or project specialises in or around the science and technology fields, you have probably heard of research and development, or R&D, tax relief. Did you know a large percentage of the businesses and companies that qualify don’t know how much they could claim or how to claim it? You may be thinking that the government giving you money to do the ground-breaking work that you have already been doing is too good to be true. It doesn’t have to be. R&D tax relief aims to reward and encourage businesses and projects that provide "an advancement to the collective knowledge of science or technology”. These projects can range from innovations in software development, automation or even just improvements on processes that already exist. If you can point to ways that your project proved an uncertainty, or even that your field’s top professionals couldn’t work out the problem the way you did – you could and should be claiming those resources back. But figuring out how much you can claim back in research and development costs can be more difficult than it sounds. Of course, it’s a government run scheme, so you must apply to HMRC, which can be a nightmare without proper knowledge and guidance. On the surface, the R&D tax relief claim form seems simple enough to fill out – you already have the information on you! There are two aspects to the application; the technical (what was your project and why was it innovative) and the financial (how much did you spend and why). The financial could be anything, from staff costs and technology costs, to equipment and heating bills – you could get up to a third back in tax relief. The technical... well, we’ll leave that up to you. It isn’t always as easy as all that, though. Application are not always cut and dry – there can be some tight boxes to fit into. Not all innovate projects are created equal and it can be hard to prove exactly how yours qualifies without proper support. If you apply for R&D tax relief
