Patent Box
Our team can help you compile and assess patent revenue, costs, and profit tracking.
What is Patent Box?
The UK Patent Box scheme is a government initiative introduced to encourage innovation and support businesses that hold qualifying intellectual property (IP) rights in the United Kingdom. It allows eligible companies to benefit from a reduced rate of corporation tax on profits generated from their patented inventions or other qualifying IP assets.
Under the scheme, companies can apply a lower corporation tax rate of 10% to the profits attributed to qualifying IP rights. This reduced rate applies to income from worldwide sales, licensing, and other forms of exploitation of patented inventions or certain IP assets.
We’ll help you assess revenue, costs, and profits from patented products. Our services include:
- Analysing R&D expenses’ impact on IP income.
- Maximising tax benefits from R&D relief and Patent Box.
- Monitoring legislative changes affecting Patent Box claims.
