The implied tax subsidy rates on R&D expenditures for loss-making large firms in the UK have been forecasted to stabilize at 12% from 2024 to 2025 and slightly increase to 13% from 2026 to 2028. The forecast suggests a steady year-on-year growth of approximately 8% from 2025 onwards. In 2023, the rates stood at 11%, indicating an upward trend driven by the government's commitment to supporting innovation in challenging economic conditions.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential policy changes that could further enhance R&D tax incentives.
