Maritime and Boating and the R&D Tax Credit

Small businesses in the Maritime and Boating industry can significantly benefit from the Research and Development tax credit by offsetting costs associated with innovating new hull designs, propulsion systems, manufacturing techniques, or even eco-friendly solutions. This credit directly reduces their Corporation Tax liability, freeing up capital for further development. Crucially, the payable cash credit allows eligible businesses, particularly those not yet profitable, to claim a direct refund from HM Revenue and Customs, providing immediate cash flow relief to cover essential research wages and foster continued innovation. For more information contact your local Swanson Reed representative.
