R&D Tax Relief in the Manufacturing industry
Almost every manufacturing business is involved in some kind of R&D – be it prototyping, development or experimentation with materials or physical production processes. This is great news for innovative manufacturing companies because it means that many of them could be eligible for R&D tax relief.
R&D tax credits can provide significant financial rewards to manufacturing companies. Companies can claim R&D tax relief for qualifying costs incurred during R&D activities, which may include staff costs, consumables costs and materials used in R&D.

Our customers say…
Visiativ helped me to quickly understand which projects were eligible for R&D and which weren’t. They also identified projects that qualified for R&D tax credits that I hadn’t been aware of, which was hugely beneficial for ACUTENSION. The R&D tax benefit we received was a huge benefit to our company. It enabled us to reinvest in our business to establish the differentiation we require to stand out from the competition.
