Insights By This Professional

If you have a sizeable presence in the UK, you will want to be prepared for the significant reform to the UK R&D tax legislation coming into effect on April 1, 2023.
Following the consultation on the future of the R&D regime, the government published draft legislation on 20 July. This introduces a few significant changes, largely clearly drafted and in line with expectations, though not without consequence for many claimants and R&D advisers.
This announcement by HMRC on 16 May 2022 has caused a stir in the R&D tax market, and quite rightly so.
HM Treasury is proposing a "once-in-a-generation" change to R&D incentives that will radically impact international companies and increased administration burden for smaller entities. Is your business ready for these proposed changes?
