What can count as R&D?

The project should seek an advance in science or technology and address a technical uncertainty that competent professionals could not readily resolve.

Claim records

Keep project notes, staff time, subcontractor details, software costs, consumables and evidence showing how the work addressed the uncertainty.

Review before claiming

Separate qualifying activity from ordinary product development, routine work and commercial activity. Check the current HMRC claim process before submitting.

Official sources.

Check the current guidance before you rely on a rate, threshold, deadline or relief.
