IRIS Business Tax- Post 01/04/2023 SME R&D and Intensive tax credits at 14.5 or 10%

Resolution

There are TWO rules applying for the R&D SME – one is set to 10% and another at 14.5%. You need to update to IRIS version 23.2.0 update LINK:

1.To claim 10%: The government announced that the tax credit rate for SME R&D claims would reduce from 14.5% to 10% for post 01/04/2023 periods.

2. To claim 14.5%: In addition to this the government also announced a new SME tax credit for ‘R&D Intensive SME’ companies; companies whose qualifying expenditure is 40% or more will be allowed to claim an SME tax credit at an uplifted rate of 14.5%. This can be ticked on the R&D SME screen. When the checkbox is ticked the ‘Calculated Tax Credit’ field total for POST 01/04/2023 period will be at 14.5%.

We have updated the Business Tax R&D functionality to allow you to easily identify a company as an R&D intensive company and subsequently have the software automatically calculate the corresponding SME R&D claim at the uplifted 14.5%, without any additional manual calculations. This will then automatically map to the CT600 and supporting documents.
