R&D claimable areas by sector

Despite relief being available for both small and large companies, eligible R&D is often overlooked outside of certain activities.

In summary, to qualify for an R&D claim, a project must be seeking to go beyond the industry status quo, or accepted scientific/technical norms. Secondly, it must also be technically challenging for the engineers or scientists trying to achieve this.

The drivers of R&D can cover many areas and can be commercial in nature.

What are the key drivers in your sector?
