Step 1: Run the Calculator
Our Innovate UK-specific calculator estimates your potential R&D tax credit based on your grant, spend, and company profile.
Innovate UK R&D tax credit advisory
The merged R&D scheme changed the rules. Grant-funded companies can now claim full 20% Research & Development Expenditure Credit (RDEC) on all qualifying spend, including grant-funded work. Most providers don't know this yet.
What you may be leaving on the table
Grant-funded work can now qualify
The merged scheme means funded innovation activity may still count toward your R&D tax credit calculation.
The rules changed faster than the market
Many firms still apply outdated exclusions, especially for Innovate UK recipients with mixed funding.
