R&D Tax Relief For Medical Innovations
Innovation drives progress in healthcare – from developing new medical devices and digital health platforms to improving processes in clinics, laboratories, and private practices. Yet many medical professionals and healthcare businesses fail to claim the R&D tax relief they are entitled to, often because they are unsure whether their work qualifies.
At Kumar Associates, through our specialist division BC&A Innovation, we help GPs, consultants, dentists, pharmacies, and medical technology companies secure valuable R&D tax credits. Our in-house team includes consultants with backgrounds in medical science, giving us unique insight into the types of projects that qualify for relief and how to present them to HMRC in a robust, defensible way.
What Counts as R&D in Healthcare?
Many clients are surprised at the range of activities that qualify as research and development. Typical examples in the medical sector include:
Developing new or improved medical devices, instruments, or equipment.
Creating or enhancing digital health platforms, patient management systems, or diagnostic tools.
Conducting clinical research and trials that involve technological or scientific advances.
Improving laboratory processes, formulations, or pharmaceutical methods.
Innovating within private clinics and dental surgeries to deliver new treatments or procedures.
If your team is solving technical challenges, testing prototypes, or improving patient care through new methods, you could be eligible for tax relief.
