The R&D tax credit plays an important part in the Government's strategy to boost business R&D. The intention of this discussion paper, announced at the Budget, is to engage the business community as to how the improvement in the delivery of the credit can be maintained and built upon. Furthermore, the paper opens a dialogue as to how best the R&D tax credit can be enhanced to support the future world-leading, innovative firms and contribute to the Government's goal of raising overall levels of R&D in the economy from the current level of 1.9 per cent to 2.5 per cent of GDP, by 2014.
