You can claim research and development tax credits on R&D revenue expenditure, i.e. the day-to-day operational costs directly relating to the innovation project.

Revenue expenditure includes the following costs which can be included in your R&D claim:
Staffing costs
Externally Provided Workers (EPWs)
Software
Consumable items
Clinical trial volunteers in the pharmaceutical industry
Subcontracted R&D (usually at a different rate to main SME relief rate)
