answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/10/2024 answer text <p>The Government recognises the important role that R&amp;D plays in driving innovation and economic growth as well as the benefits it can bring for society. The UK’s R&amp;D tax reliefs have a key role to play in supporting R&amp;D investment in a fiscally sustainable way.</p><p>R&amp;D intensive, lossmaking, small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) qualify for an enhanced rate of relief (“ERIS”). This gives eligible companies a cash value of £27 for every £100 spent on R&amp;D. The Government expects around 20,000 SMEs annually will benefit from this support, which is worth around £600 million per year.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>To give additional certainty and assure compliance HMRC offers an Advanced Assurance scheme to eligible SMEs (companies with a turnover of below £2 million and less than 50 employees) claiming R&amp;D tax relief for the first time.</p><p> </p><p>To further support accessibility, HMRC publishes comprehensive guidance and has produced new “guidelines for compliance” explaining what is and is not R&amp;D.</p> answering member constituency Ealing North answering member printed James Murray question first answered 07/10/2024 14:07:33 answering member 4797 label Biography information for James Murray
