R&D Tax Credits
R&D tax credits are a government-backed incentive for companies investing in innovation, allowing them to reduce corporation tax or receive cash payments, for staff, subcontractors, software and consumables.
R&D tax relief is a complicated, yet valuable undertaking
So we partner with experts we work closely with to ensure our clients get the best, most up-to-date advice.
The rules have tightened over the years, the documentation expectations are higher, and the scheme itself has changed significantly for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2024.
Rules tightened
Specialist partners introduced to help with merged scheme applies from April 2024.

So what does FWD do here?
We partner with specialist firms that maximise the relief for our clients. We act on behalf of our clients, liaising with these experts and enabling the right insight and information to make a decision about R&D relief.
We also integrate the claim into wider decision-making and financial outlooks. R&D relief is part of a funding picture: cashflow timing, reinvestment plans, and how innovation spend is structured. We’ll consider how the claim affects your broader tax position and whether it changes the way you plan investment over the next 12 months.
The best first step is a structured conversation, where we can advise whether it’s worth progressing, and what a well-supported claim would look like, alongside our specialist R&D partners.
