Farming

Farming is a vital industry as it produces supplies required to maintain life, such as food, medicinal plants, and horticultural crops, amongst others. According to government figures, the industry continues to grow with total croppable hectarage and overall livestock numbers in the UK increasing year-on-year.

​

Despite the fact that a large number of farmers conduct research and development in order to increase productivity, and thus maximise and sustain profits, the industry only makes up <1% of all R&D tax relief claims. This means that significant sums are unclaimed every year by companies within the agricultural and farming industry.
