Keep your R&D claims on track
Knowing when to file your R&D tax claim can be confusing. This tool works it out for you in seconds, so you always know exactly what’s due and when.
If you’re claiming R&D tax relief, there are several deadlines that determine whether you can make a claim. Missing one could mean losing out on relief your business may be entitled to.

How we calculate your deadlines
Each year, eligible businesses lose out on R&D relief because they submit too late. Once the window closes, HMRC won’t reopen it — even if your company qualified.
Staying on top of your R&D tax deadlines protects your cash flow and ensures you get the full benefit of the relief available.
