Governments all over the world are always looking for ways to encourage innovation from businesses in their country. Tax incentives are often one of the tools they turn to. Taxation will rarely, if ever, be the reason to innovate but having decided to innovate, it’s worth ensuring that the tax incentives are optimised.

The UK Government is clearly committed to encouraging businesses to invest more in R&D activity and then to retain their IP in the UK. The R&D tax relief regimes have been reformed to make them even more attractive and a Patent Box regime was introduced in 2013. Finance Act 2016 introduced significant changes to this regime to make it compliant with the OECD BEPS requirements. The reform of large company R&D relief, with the introduction from 2013 of the above-the-line R&D Expenditure Credit (RDEC), makes this relief more attractive and relevant to many more companies.
