Corporation Tax Reliefs: Is your business missing out?
If you own a limited company, you’ll be well aware that you’re required by law to pay tax on your company’s profits by a specified deadline. But, are you aware that you could be eligible to claim back a percentage of your tax return through Corporation Tax Reliefs?
Corporation Tax Reliefs can potentially be used in order to minimise your company’s tax bill but that said, claiming Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credits can be particularly tricky to navigate.
Know if you’re eligible: what expenses qualify for tax reliefs?
In order to qualify for R&D Tax Credits, your business must be involved in a specific project hoping to make a development or advancement in either the science or technology fields.
You must be able to explain how your company’s project either:
- Looked for an advance in science and/or technology
- Had to overcome a level of uncertainty
- Tried to overcome this uncertainty
- Couldn’t be easily solved by a professional in the field
R&D reliefs support companies that work on innovative projects in science and technology. It can be claimed by a range of companies that seek to research or develop an advance in their field. It can even be claimed on unsuccessful projects.
