The system basically works like this:
You can get a credit against your corporation tax liability for qualifying R & D expenditure over and above the expenditure incurred in 2003 ( The base year)
You get a credit of 25% direct against the tax liability.
My question is- how is this to be treated in the accounts?
If it is credited to the P & L account, then it will increase the CT liability, effectively reducing the credit to 12.5%.
