SME Scheme
What is SME R&D tax relief?
With the SME Scheme you can claim tax relief up to 33% on your qualifying R&D expenditure. You are classified as a small or medium sized enterprise (SME): for the purposes of R&D tax incentives if you employees and have either an annual turnover under £100 million or a balance sheet under £86 million.
Do you think you could be eligible?
Ask yourself:
- Do you design and make new products?
- Do you seek to improve processes, services, materials or devices?
- Do you make prototypes or perform testing?
- Do you develop software or IT solutions?
- Have you invested in failed projects or developed products that are never launched?
- Do you employ any staff with a technical or scientific background?
