Subject to UK Corporation Tax

You must be a UK registered company that is liable for Corporation Tax.

02.

Advance in science or technology

Your project aims to advance science or technology by going beyond routine improvements.

03.

Technical uncertainty

Your project tackles technical uncertainties that a competent professional in your field cannot easily resolve.
