Всичко за R&D Tax Credit UK
📋Представяне+
For accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2024 most companies use the merged scheme: a 20% above-the-line R&D expenditure credit (RDEC), which is itself taxable — so the net benefit is roughly 15% for a profit-maker taxed at 25%. Loss-making, R&D-intensive SMEs (R&D ≥ 30% of total expenditure) can instead claim ERIS: an 86% additional deduction surrendered for a 14.5% payable cash credit.
💡 Добри практики
- The R&D-intensive threshold dropped from 40% to 30% for periods from April 2024 — more SMEs qualify for ERIS.
- Qualifying costs include staff, subcontractors, software, consumables and data/cloud — categorise carefully.
- Claims now need an additional information form filed before the company tax return, or HMRC rejects them.
🔢 Конкретен пример
£100,000 of qualifying R&D in a loss-making R&D-intensive SME: ERIS gives an enhanced deduction of £186,000 surrendered at 14.5% ≈ £26,970 payable credit.

FAQ — R&D Tax Credit UK
Which scheme applies to me?+
Loss-making SMEs spending at least 30% of total costs on R&D use ERIS; everyone else uses the merged RDEC scheme.
Is the RDEC credit taxable?+
Yes — RDEC is brought in above the line and is subject to corporation tax, which is why the net benefit is below the 20% headline.
