“Tax credits for research and development spending no longer exist”

The law used to have a section called ‘Tax credits for expenditure on research and development’. This section was part of the Income Tax Act 2007. However, this part of the law no longer exists. It was removed on 30 March 2017, and this change applied from 1 April 2009. This means that since 1 April 2009, there have been no special tax credits for money spent on research and development under this specific section of the law.
