📋Presentación+
Computes the Patent Box deduction that brings the corporation tax rate on relevant IP profits down to an effective 10% — scaled by the nexus (R&D) fraction: (in-house + unconnected subcontracted R&D) × 1.3, capped at 1, over total qualifying expenditure including connected-party R&D and IP acquisition costs.
💡 Buenas prácticas
- The election must be made within 2 years of the end of the accounting period — profits before election get no benefit.
- Heavy IP acquisition or connected-party subcontracting dilutes the nexus fraction and the benefit.
- Loss-making patent portfolios create a Patent Box loss that reduces future relief — timing the election matters.
🔢 Ejemplo concreto
£500,000 of relevant IP profits at the 25% CT rate with fully self-developed IP: £300,000 deduction, £75,000 of tax saved — an effective 10% rate on the IP profits.

📚Glosario+
- Relevant IP profits
- Profits attributable to UK or European patents (and some other rights), after removing a routine return (~10% of costs) and the marketing asset return.
- Nexus fraction
- Relief is proportional to your own R&D: (in-house + third-party R&D) × 1.3 uplift, divided by all qualifying expenditure including acquired IP and connected-party R&D — capped at 100%.
