About the course

Do you know how to judge whether your company or client is eligible for R&D tax relief, and if so how to go about claiming them? The R&D tax relief and tax credit scheme is still much underutilised, and if you can get to grips with it, you could significantly reduce your business or client's tax liability or even generate a cash payment.

This course gives you an overview of R&D tax credits. Gain an in depth understanding of both SME R&D relief and the Research and Development Expenditure Credit (RDEC), including who is eligible and how much they could get and find out about applying for the relief for SMEs.

This course has been updated for 2022/23.
