Manufacturing

The Manufacturing sector stands out as the most active sector for R&D Tax Credit claims, as HMRC indicates.

Manufacturing companies work in areas such as automotive, electronics, consumer goods, and industrial machinery. They engage in R&D to improve the efficiency, quality, and sustainability of manufacturing processes and products and to develop new materials, advanced manufacturing equipment, and innovative production techniques.

These R&D projects encompass endeavours that transcend basic troubleshooting, concentrating on developing or enhancing new components, existing materials, products, or processes beyond industry standards.

It is not uncommon for professionals working on R&D projects to face technical challenges throughout the process, from the initial design phase to the construction of intricate components, assembly of complex systems, and prototyping. As a result, they often engage in qualifying R&D activities such as technical planning, design, testing, and analysis to develop new and improved methods, processes, and technologies that can help resolve these challenges and ultimately achieve the desired solution or an advance in science or technology.

If your company is engaged in R&D activities to create new and improved products, materials, advanced manufacturing equipment, and innovative production techniques/processes, Elevaterds can assist you in assessing your qualifying R&D projects and compiling the technical report necessary for your R&D claim. 

Our team of experts can guide you through the R&D tax claim management process, from identifying qualifying R&D activities to preparing technical reports and submitting your claim to HMRC, ensuring that you receive the maximum tax relief available.
