A UK incorporated limited company can claim R&D relief up to two years after the end of the accounting period of the expenditure. The following are flags that you could be eligible:
You are innovating, improving, or inventing processes or technologies which are not currently available on the market.
At the start of the project, you had no clear answer as to how the project would conclude. This uncertainty proves the first point that the development is producing new knowledge.
You can document evidence of your research and development, and the expenditure relating to these activities.
If your company meet the criteria laid out above, you should endeavour to maintain detailed records of every cost associated with the project, including:
Staff costs associated with the project.
Subcontracted staff associated with the project.
Software associated with the project.
Consumables: Any utilities or materials used in the project are eligible.
N.B. Ineligible costs include the costs of distributing the goods produced, capital expenditure, rent or rates, and the cost of patents.
“Dragon Argent have provided seamless R&D services to Sphere for our 2019 and 2020 accounting periods, assisting us in receiving over £450k in cash rebates. They charge only 5% of the rebate as a fee, which appears to be very cost-efficient compared to other entities offering such a comprehensive “all-in-one” service. They run the whole project from start to finish, carrying out the detailed calculation as well as the supporting technical narrative, and all related documentation and filings. They complete this in a way which minimises input time from ourselves which we find very valuable, generally only requiring an hour or so on a call so that they can fully understand the development project. We will certainly continue to engage Dragon Argent for R&D services in the future.”
