R&D Tax relief is a valuable benefit to many organisations but while it conjures up images of men in white lab-coats, it is not often realised that design and implementation of environmental solutions- with labs comprising engineers working with mud and soil- can often qualify for this relief.
The reality today is that many companies developing environmental solutions cannot simply use off-the-shelf techno
logy and have to experiment in real-world environments to determine, for example, optimal water levels, growth mediums, minimise wastage and maximise water use.
The laboratory in many situations can comprise large outdoor testbeds, and there are a number of areas where we have successfully helped companies claim for solutions they have developed or integrated, including for grey water systems, hydroponics, irrigation solutions, more efficient drainage and green walls.
Additionally, as experimentation in this area can be quite labour-intensive there is usually a broad cost base that can qualify.
