How to grow with R&D tax credits
2 October 2017
R&D tax relief encourages investment in research and development across the economy, according to a recently published study by the London School of Economics (LSE). Researchers from the LSE’s Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) noted that a downward trend in UK business enterprise R&D had levelled off in the mid-2000s. They also noted a change in government policy on R&D tax relief in 2008. This extended the more generous R&D tax relief scheme for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to firms with assets above €43 million (the original limit) to those with assets up to €86 million.
