The EU has a pot of just under €100bn to invest in research and innovation projects across the EU. Despite the UK leaving the EU, the government are in the process of agreeing our association to Horizon Europe between 2021 and 2027, which means UK organisations can still apply for some of the funding programmes. Whilst this hasn’t been completely formalized, the UK government has put in place a mechanism to allow applicants to competitions to still receive their funding through UKRI regardless of the outcome of the UK’s efforts to associate.

The majority of Horizon Europe applications are collaborative, so you just have a wider pool of collaborators to work with.

Cooden is five stars! Simon and his team stepped in to help our business with a complex R&D tax relief application. Simon’s attention to detail is second to none. His understanding of the nuances of tax law is impressive, and I’ve had the privilege of seeing his reporting first-hand. It’s not often you work with a team that exceeds your expectations, but Cooden has. I’m impressed and you will be too.

Should I claim

Does my Business Qualify?

The simplest definition of R&D is when a company looks for an advance in science or technology. This is deliberately broad and it means it can be interpreted to include the development of physical technologies as well as software.

In order to get R&D tax relief for a technology project, you will need to show in your claim that your company looked for an advance, had to overcome an uncertainty, took steps to overcome this uncertainty, and that this work couldn’t have been achieved easily by someone in your industry.

It only takes 15 minutes to find out if you are eligible for R&D Tax Credits – why not book in a call today?
