Should I be claiming R&D Tax Credits?
The Oil, Gas and Petrochem market has become even more competitive during 2015/16 with plunging oil prices impacting all suppliers in the sector. There are simply less orders being placed and competition has increased for all that remains. As a consequence, your cash reserves may have dropped and you are possibly having to reduce staff costs.
However, you will probably have been incurring costs for product development over the previous two years and you can recover up to 33% of these by claiming R&D Tax Credits, usually within a few weeks.
According to HMRC, the average SME claim last year was £43K. That goes straight onto your bottom line…..
With R&D Tax Credits you can reclaim up to 33% of your development costs incurred over the past two year
The questions to ask are:
- Do I design innovative products?
- Do I employ technical staff?
- While I design or improve my products, do I conduct tests or trials to prove that they work and comply with Ex regulations?
- Do I spend money on turning my ideas into equipment?
If this is you or your business, then you really should check your R&D tax credit eligibility. It’s quite easy to find out and confirming that you can claim will cost you absolutely nothing.
