UK R&D tax reliefs are among the most effective and generous tax allowances in the world. Yet many companies, entitled to the incentive, do not claim reliefs that are due, either through a lack of awareness or because the reliefs seem complex or inappropriate to their business. But the significant increases in the value of the incentive, and the widened variety of sectors claiming, make the UK's R&D tax relief code even more important. At the same time, the growth in HMRC powers and penalty-based tax regime highlight the importance of accurately documented claims.

This comprehensive commentary brings together the many aspects of the R&D tax relief framework and its alternatives into a readable and manageable reference point. It includes the latest extensive Finance Act changes as well as technical case law analysis and updates and linked examples and calculations. Topics covered in this update include:
