The presentation will outline how the entire fruit industry can maximise the use of the R&D tax credit system for their advantage. The fruit sector is recognised as one of the sectors who do not take full advantage of HMRC’s R&D Tax Relief scheme. If you are growing or propagating new varieties or fruit types; trialling new growing methods or conditions, or just looking at different fertilisers or pest control methods, then you may be entitled to claim. We have worked with a number of fruit and vegetable producers over the last three years and through the R&D scheme, they have received cash payments or tax relief benefits.
