The rate of relief will increase for large and small companies. SMEs will get
a rate of relief of 175%, while large companies will get 130%.
These will be complicated by changes to the headline corporate tax rates for
both small and large companies, but advisers welcomed the moves.
HM Revenue & Customs has been trying to promote the credits amidst fears
that many SMEs were not claiming them due to complexity, having set up
