Research and Development Tax Relief

R&D tax relief schemes, such as HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in the UK, reward businesses that invest in innovation. To qualify, a company must be seeking a technological or scientific advance within its industry by developing or modifying a product, process, or service. This does not have to be a successful project, nor does it have to be a completed project. If a company has a qualifying product, service, or project, it may be able to reduce its next corporation tax bill or receive a tax refund.

Capital Allowances

Capital allowances allow commercial property owners to claim tax relief on qualifying capital expenditure. Qualifying expenditures for a claim include “plant and machinery,” such as equipment, machinery, and business vehicles, as well as embedded capital allowances, which are items that are embedded with commercial property and considered to be part of the building.

Energy Tax Relief

Energy tax relief schemes, such as the Energy-Intensive Industries (EII) exemption scheme or the Climate Change Levy (CCL) exemption scheme, help energy-intensive industries in the UK to alleviate the financial burden associated with high energy consumption.

Patent Box

Patent box tax relief encourages companies to develop new patented inventions, which are licensed in the UK or certain European countries. The tax relief is effectively a discount on a company’s corporation tax rate and reduces it to 10% of relevant profits. Companies that can claim this relief are likely to be eligible for R&D tax relief too.

Land Remediation Tax Relief

Land remediation relief is a corporation tax relief claimable by the landowner of contaminated land or property. The tax relief was introduced to encourage landowners to clean up and restore land on brownfield sites acquired from a third party in a contaminated state. The scheme applies to the landowner (either freehold or a leasehold) who can claim for the costs of remediating contaminated land.
