The Government recognises the value of R&D intensive SMEs to the UK\u2019s wider innovation ecosystem, and at Autumn Statement 2022 committed to working with industry ahead of Budget to understand whether further support is necessary for R&D intensive SMEs.<\/p>

It is the most R&D intensive loss-making companies that are most affected by the AS22 rate changes, and which the additional tax relief is seeking to target.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government has estimated around 20,000 SMEs will benefit from this scheme per year. This estimate and the estimated cost of the measure are based on HMRC administrative data. The costing has been independently certified by the Office for Budget Responsibility and the process to calculate the costing can be found here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/Government /uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1142824/Costing_Document_-_Spring_Budget_2023.pdf<\/em><\/a><\/p>

Further detail on the economic impact of the scheme will be published in the tax information and impact note ahead of being legislated for in an upcoming Finance Bill, in the usual way.<\/p>
