How R&D Tax Credits Can Help your Business

If you have spent money on qualifying innovative activities in the past two years you can reduce your company’s corporation tax bill an extra 86% of the amount you spent on the innovation.

Under these rules at the most simple level for every £1 on R&D activities spent you will receive 21.5p in tax relief.

How does it work?

In the example the business has spent £17,900 in qualifying Research and Development Tax expenditure.

This expenditure is multiplied by 86% to give the enhanced expenditure amount of £15,394.

The enhanced expenditure is then subtracted off of the company's profit figure of £30,000. This leaves the company with a reduced profit level before tax of £14,606.

This reduces their Corporation Tax bill from £5,700 to £2,775 resulting in a total tax saving of £2,925.
