Many farming and agriculture companies qualify for thousands in R&D Tax Relief, turning advances in crops into funds to reinvest. Harvest the rewards of innovation.
The Agriculture & Farming sector is a vital contributor to economic growth and food security, continually adapting to environmental pressures, rising costs, and sustainability demands. Innovation plays a key role in developing more efficient, resilient, and sustainable farming practices.
R&D Tax Credits can provide valuable funding by reducing tax liabilities or delivering cash injections. Agricultural R&D often focuses on improving yields, optimising resource use, developing new crop varieties, and enhancing farming technologies – helping businesses accelerate projects, boost productivity, and achieve growth.
Which activities qualify for R&D Tax Credits in the Agriculture sector?
