Agriculture R&D Tax Credits
Agriculture contributes around £10 billion to the UK economy, and directly employs more than 450,000 people.
It is a sector that sees a lot of innovation, such as the move to more sustainable, organic farming.
However, many agricultural businesses could be missing out on vital tax relief by not claiming agriculture R&D tax credits they are entitled to.
This may be because of the mistaken perception that R&D has to take place in the lab. This is not the case, and RandD Tax are here to help you claim these tax credits.
These can take the form of a direct cash payment, or a reduction in corporation tax. Either way, your business will benefit and be able to free up more cash for innovation.
Agriculture R&D tax credits can fund many of the expenses incurred when developing new products or processes. These include:
- Staff costs
- Software costs
- Sub-contractors
- Consumables
We will identify if you are eligible to make a claim, what scheme you should claim under and how much you can expect to benefit from.
