Following on from the last articles’ R&D tax credit flavour, to assist businesses with assessing whether they may eligible for the new R&D tax credit, IR has developed and now released a new on-line (apparently easy-to-use) eligibility tool with associated guidance material, which is aimed at providing businesses with a useful indication of whether they should explore their eligibility to receiving a tax credit further.

The new tool has been designed to facilitate Governments intention to encourage more businesses of all sizes and across a range of sectors to invest in R&D activities.
