Making a claim

You must be a UK Limited Company that is subject to Corporation Tax and have carried out Research & Development qualifying activities. Your project may be creating a new process, product or service or improving an existing one. You will probably be trying to solve a problem where no solution is evident. Whatever your sector, if your company is trying to resolve technological uncertainties then you are likely carrying out R&D qualifying activity. Sometimes R&D is not successful, and it is important to remember that if your project is ultimately unsuccessful but tried to find a solution which was not evident at the outset, it could still qualify for R&D.

Small to Medium Enterprises (SME) are able to claim up to 33p for every £1 spent on qualifying R&D activities. The average claim by SMEs in the UK is £60,000. Large companies are able to claim 11p for every pound of qualifying activity.  No matter what size your company is, there is a claim if you are eligible.

Costs

Innovation in Life won’t charge you unless your claim is successful, so there is no risk to you or your company. Our fee is a percentage of the refund you receive and includes the full service provided, there are no hidden extras. We will only charge you for this once you have received your refund.
