Pronovotech is a UK-based firm helping technology companies to claim tax incentives for research and development (R&D) work. Many companies are claiming R&D tax benefits successfully, but many others either do not realise that they have eligible projects, worry that the claim process is too onerous and costly or, most commonly, ‘bundle’ the R&D claim as part of their broader tax and accounting affairs without a rigorous effort to optimise its scope. The financial benefits of the scheme can be substantial, though, and for companies involved in technology projects, the scope of their eligibility for R&D tax incentives warrants special attention. We are passionate supporters of the view that healthy technology-based industries, underpinned by a thriving science base and advanced manufacturing capabilities, are essential to the future prosperity of the economy. Maintaining a competitive position requires constant innovation and the Government’s R&D tax credit scheme is an important source of support for innovative projects.
