HMRC BEIS guidelines to eligible R&D

Projects that focus purely on achieving an improvement of the cosmetic or aesthetic appeal of a material or product are not considered R&D for tax purposes. However, if a project includes elements where these activities require the resolution of technological or scientific uncertainties through the development of manufacturing or construction processes, or novel materials and combinations of materials that were not readily deducible, this work can be eligible. 

If you have any questions or would like further advice tailored to your practice, please get in touch below.
