Medical R&D Tax Credits
Within the medical sector, there is a continuous need for research and development (R&D). Whether it is for next generation medical devices, technologies and products, new and improved pharmaceuticals, or research into the use of genomics, AI or smart packaging; it is all R&D!
There is a large amount of funding available to the medical sector for R&D, but did you know that medical companies can also claim R&D tax credits for the work they are doing? They can even claim R&D tax relief if the company is loss making, if the project was unsuccessful and if the R&D was grant funded!
All of the above are examples of activities in the medical sector that are eligible for an R&D tax claim. As long as the R&D being done is to overcome a technical or scientific uncertainty, then it could be eligible!
Our Consultant’s are experts at delving deep into your R&D projects and identifying all of the eligible activity within them; making sure your claim is maximised to it’s fullest potential.
These statistics are based on 215 claims within the health sector in the financial year. Only 20% of the average expenditure is being claimed back, which we believe is far below what it should be!

HMRC has launched two open consultations as of March 2025 that could significantly impact tax advisers and businesses claiming R&D tax relief. One aims to strengthen enforcement against non-compliant tax advisers, while the other looks to improve the underused Advance Assurance scheme for R&D tax relief. These developments follow last year's broader "Raising Standards" consultation, which is still in progress.
Thinking about claiming tax relief for your video game project? If you're developing games in the UK, it’s important to understand the two available support schemes, Video Game Tax Relief (VGTR) and the newer Video Games Expenditure Credit (VGEC). Each comes with its own rules, benefits, and eligibility criteria, and the choice between them can have a real impact on your claim.
