Ongoing changes to R&D tax relief – some key action points to consider

May 2023

If you are responsible for claiming the R&D tax relief in your company, then please read on to check that you are up to date with all the changes happening currently.

Rate changes from 1 April 2023

  • SME enhanced deduction reduced to 86% from 130% and credit from 14.5% to 10%, (albeit that some SME’s with R&D costs >40% of total costs may still be able to claim 14.5%)
  • R&D Expenditure Credit (“RDEC”) rate increased from 13% to 20%

Ensure your cash flow and other forecasts reflect the new rates.

If we are to see traditional asset classes continue to struggle, will investors buy cryptocurrencies as the total number of people globally exposed to cryptos certainly continues to rise?
