R & D TAX CREDITS
You don’t necessarily have to wear a white coat and work in a laboratory to qualify for R&D tax credits! If your company spends money developing new products, processes or services or enhancing existing ones, it may be eligible for R&D tax relief, leading to a significant corporation tax reduction or a cash payment for your company.
£57,132 is the average claim value that R&D tax credits can provide to innovative UK businesses. This can reduce your tax bill or increase your taxable losses. (Source - HMRC)

To reward businesses for their investment, the UK Government allows you to enhance your qualifying expenditure - as shown in the example below:
R&D Investment: £50,000
x 130% (enhancement rate) = £65,000
x 19% (Corporation Tax rate) = £12,350
£12,350 / £50,000 = 25%
