Research & Development (R&D) Relief

How can the Northern Ireland Corporate Tax Office help?

The Northern Ireland Corporate Tax Office (NIrCTO) is your local point of contact in Northern Ireland for R&D Relief claims.

They can help you and your professional adviser:

• decide if your company qualifies for R&D Relief
• design simple processes to help make acceptable claims
• understand what records you need to keep
• facilitate access to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC's) specialist R&D units for specific help with your claim.

R&D Relief in Northern Ireland

Working in partnership with local government and Invest NI, NIrCTO has produced a booklet to increase awareness of and help Northern Ireland companies claim R&D Relief.

This booklet does not replace HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) guidance but acts as an informative summary of the main provisions of the scheme. It also gives guidance on where to find help and more detailed information.
