As you will know , in the Autumn Statement 2022 Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced changes to R & D Tax Credits for UK businesses , affecting both SMEs and large organisations from April 2023 . The changes to R & D Tax Credits reflect a shift in strategy from the Treasury for investment in UK innovation .
The coming changes will only affect expenditure from 1st April 2023 . This means that SME ’ s undertaking innovative R & D can still take advantage of the government ’ s more generous relief rates for expenditure up to 31st March 2023 .
