For The Individual Angel

These meetings also provide an excellent opportunity to network with other angels. The businesses are local to each group and come from various industry sectors.

*To be a member you must be a sophisticated or high-net-worth investor as defined by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotions) Order 2005

R&D Tax Credits

W H A T A R E R & D T A X C R E D I T S ?

Small and medium sized enterprises (SME) R&D Relief:

R&D tax credits have been around for over 15 years yet by HMRC's own statistics the relief is not being claimed as expected, especially in the SME sector. R&D tax relief allows companies to:

deduct an extra 130% of their qualifying costs from their yearly profit, as well as the normal 100% deduction, to make a total 230% deduction
claim a tax credit if the company is loss making, worth up to 14.5% of the surrenderable loss

If your company carries out research and development then you may be eligible for R&D tax credits. R&D tax credits are a government incentive designed to reward UK companies for investing in innovation. If you’re making a claim for the first time, you can typically claim R&D tax relief for your last two completed accounting periods.

There are three main types of tax benefit that arise from a successful claim for R&D Tax Relief, these are:

A payable cash credit
A rebate of corporation tax
An enhanced deduction that can be carried forward
