This guidance note provides information on the relief available for capital expenditure on research and development (R&D). The Research and development (R&D) relief - overview guidance note provides an overview of R&D reliefs for revenue expenditure. The guidance note Capital vs revenue expenditure provides information on whether expenditure is capital or revenue in nature.

It is important to note that, although R&D tax relief for revenue expenditure is not available to unincorporated businesses or individual hobbyist inventors, only to companies, the RDAs for capital expenditure are available for companies and unincorporated businesses, provided they are carrying on a trade.
