In previous news, we have referred to a number of options available for getting funding towards business development projects. Here's an update on the funding options that have closed, and those that are still available.
R&D Tax Credits
The tax relief on allowable R&D costs is still at 230%. This means that for every £100 of qualifying costs spent you can deduct £130 from profit and thus reduce your Corporation Tax. Find out if you're eligible to make a saving.
