R&D in the Food & Drink Industry
What is R&D in the Food & Drink Industry?
Today we see R&D in the food industry when a new range or flavour of baked goods hits the shelves, when chefs create new dishes for their restaurants or when a business has invested in bespoke software to improve their company efficiencies and much more.
What Activity is Eligible?
As long as a food or drink business tried to create or change a product, service or process, through trial and error (because a competent professional could not easily do it), they could claim R&D tax credits and receive up to 24.7p for every qualifying £1 spent on R&D.
What can you claim for?
During the trial and error or testing period of an R&D project you can claim for:
- Raw materials (such as flour and hops)
- Utilities
- People
- Subcontractors
- Software (Bespoke)
