📋Представяне+
Computes UK R&D relief for accounting periods from April 2024: the merged RDEC scheme pays a taxable above-the-line credit of 20% of qualifying R&D spend (net benefit 15% at the 25% CT rate, 16.2% at 19%), while loss-making SMEs whose R&D is at least 30% of total expenditure qualify for ERIS — an 86% enhanced deduction with a 14.5% payable credit, worth up to 26.97p per £1.
💡 Добри практики
- Payable credits are capped at £20,000 plus 300% of the company's PAYE/NIC bill — heavily subcontracted R&D can hit the cap.
- Qualifying costs include staff, externally provided workers, software, data licences, cloud computing and consumables.
- Claims need an Additional Information Form and, for first-time claimants, advance notification within 6 months of the period end.
🔢 Конкретен пример
Profitable company spending £100,000 on qualifying R&D at the 25% CT rate: gross credit £20,000, tax on the credit £5,000 — net benefit £15,000 (15%). A loss-making SME at 40% intensity would instead receive £26,970 via ERIS.
