Aviation, Aerospace and Space Technology and the R&D Tax Credit

Small businesses in the Aviation, Aerospace, and Space Technology industry can leverage the Research and Development tax credit to reduce Corporation Tax liability and reinvest savings into innovation, such as developing new aircraft components or improving fuel efficiency. Qualifying Research and Development expenses, including wages, materials, and contractor costs, can yield significant credits. Additionally, startups and early-stage businesses may benefit from claiming a payable cash credit from HM Revenue and Customs, which allows them to receive a direct refund if they are loss-making.
