Can Architects Claim R&D Tax Credits?
Architecture is a fine balance between aesthetics and function, trying to reduce our carbon footprint all whilst meeting clients’ needs and budgets. The creative nature of the work means that some projects may be eligible for R&D Tax and whilst R&D can occur in any of the RIBA stages it is most found in RIBA Stages 3-5.
