R&D tax incentives reward businesses in all sectors for their innovation, and the life sciences, pharmaceutical and biotech sectors are no exception. These industries often face unique technical challenges that require significant investment in R&D to overcome.
If you’re a business in the life sciences sector and you’re undertaking projects to find solutions to technical challenges, you may be eligible for R&D tax relief.
