The Patent Box Scheme

Government incentive programs like the Patent Box offer significant tax advantages specifically designed to encourage research and development (R&D) activities.

About the Patent Box

Beyond securing loans, SMEs can benefit from tax incentives like the Patent Box. The Patent Box regime allows companies to apply a lower rate of Corporation Tax to profits earned from patented inventions. This incentive encourages innovation and investment in R&D by making IP more financially rewarding. For example, a biotechnology firm with several patents on new drug formulations can take advantage of the Patent Box to reduce its tax liability significantly. This reduction frees up capital for further research and development, accelerating innovation and growth.
