Automotive, Battery and Self-Driving Technologies and the R&D Tax Credit
Small businesses in the Automotive, Battery, and Self-Driving Technologies industry can significantly benefit from the Research and Development tax credit by reducing their Corporation Tax liability and increasing cash flow. This applies to activities like developing new vehicle components, improving manufacturing processes for efficiency or sustainability, enhancing safety features, or creating advanced software for vehicles. Crucially, the scheme allows eligible pre-revenue or loss-making startups to surrender losses for a payable cash credit from HM Revenue and Customs.
