- How you make an R&D claim will largely be dictated by timing.
- Its possible to make a claim up to two years after the end of the relevant accounting period. After this point – you won’t be able to make a claim for R&D relief.
- It is possible therefore to make an historic claim based on past qualifying expenditure by amending and resubmitting your tax return. A successful claim should result in a cash payment to your business.
- You can also make an in-year claim or by providing the required information along with your original tax return. Relief is given in the form of a reduced tax bill, as opposed to a cash payment, assuming you are profit-making.
