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.
Examples of qualifying activity for R&D Tax Relief
-
✓ Designing components to operate to higher specifications than industry standard
✓ Designing and developing software for machinery which can integrate with other equipment and enable more efficient running of processes.
✓ Improving environmental impact: e.g. reducing material usage, waste, emissions (CO2), energy consumption, etc
-
✓ Improving fettling and grinding methods for any number of precision surface finishing options for enhanced quality of the part.
✓ Adapting existing products and components to comply with updated legislation
✓ Advances in material properties, such as increase in yield or tensile strength, increase in toughness, corrosion resistance, and resistance to fatigue.
-
✓ Manufacturing process improvements to ‘above industry’ standards.
✓ Overcoming scalability issues
✓ Increasing the level of recycled materials within products whilst maintaining strength and robustness.
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.
