With accommodation and food being an essential part of everyone’s life, there is no doubt that the sector is rich in research and development. The Government often changes the rules surrounding nutritional control over the products we buy, allowing innovative solutions in the Accommodation and Food sector to adapt to the new rules we often face.
The R&D Tax Credit incentive is set to award businesses in and alongside the Accommodation and Food sector, to allow innovation within the process of adapting those changes, that can shape the world into a better future.
Below are project examples that would qualify for R&D tax credits in accommodation and food sector
Creating your own cleaning product that advances currently available alternatives. This might take many attempts to get right, but you can claim back on all eligible expenditure that you've incurred during this process.
The development of new machinery, for example, to ensure food and drink is handled safely. If you've built a bespoke piece of machinery to increase efficiency of your production, you could claim for costs incurred.
Innovating things such as new packaging for transport of altered products.

Rent does not qualify for R&D Tax Credits under any circumstance.
