Knowledge about the deadline for R&D tax relief is important for businesses seeking financial support. Companies must submit claims within two years from the end of their accounting period. Missing this R&D two-year claim deadline can lead to losing valuable tax credits for R&D.
You must file your claim within two years of the end of the relevant accounting period. For example, if your financial year ends on 31 December 2022, the deadline for R&D tax relief is 31 December 2024.
If you miss the R&D two-year claim deadline, your claim will be rejected. This applies no matter how much tax relief you are eligible for. So, it’s essential to stay on top of your deadlines.
Regularly reviewing your R&D activities helps you stay prepared. It ensures you don’t miss out on tax credits for R&D. Early preparation reduces the risk of a last-minute rush and ensures you account for eligible costs.
