answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2018 answer text <p>As announced at Budget 2018, Finance Bill 2019-20 will introduce a limit on the amount of payable tax credit that can be claimed by a company under the R&amp;D SME tax relief. The limit will be set at three times the company’s total PAYE and National Insurance contribution (NICs) payment for the period. The change will have effect for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2020. Any loss that a company cannot surrender for a payable credit can be carried forward and used against future profits. The government will also consult on how the cap will be applied, to minimise any impact on genuine UK businesses.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 01/11/2018 17:34:52 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
