Software development and IT companies are engaged in constant efforts to improve their products. To drive business growth and meet the expectations of increasingly demanding companies they must take risks, experiment and innovate or face inevitable stagnation in a brutally competitive industry. In other words, they must carry out R&D. Many companies are benefiting from R&D tax relief on their software development expenses.

In the United Kingdom, companies in the software and information technology (IT) industry can claim Research and Development (R&D) tax credits for a wide range of activities related to the design, development, and implementation of new software, IT systems, and technologies.
Some examples of eligible activities include:
To qualify for R&D tax credits, a company must be a UK-based business and the R&D activities must be related to the company’s trade. The R&D must also seek to achieve an advance in overall knowledge or capability in a field of science or technology through the resolution of scientific or technological uncertainty.
The amount of credit a company can claim depends on the size of the company and the nature of the R&D activities. For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the credit is worth up to 33% of the R&D costs. For large companies, the credit is worth up to 10% of the R&D costs.
