The new era for R&D tax relief

As a vital source of funding, R&D tax relief can help. The incentive is, however, undergoing significant change. To help members understand these important issues, the Food & Drink Federation is holding a webinar on the ‘new era’ for R&D tax relief in partnership with ForrestBrown.

We will reveal what’s changed, what you need to do and how you can use innovation funding to help secure your future competitive advantage.

You will:

• Learn how HMRC’s approach has changed and what’s happening with the government’s R&D tax relief consultation.
• Learn how to capture the full value of your innovation, along with new advice based on the latest guidance.
• Access practical recommendations on how to maximise your strategic advantage.
