Businesses that believe R&D tax relief is only available to high-tech companies are being urged to take a trip down to the farm to see what they are missing.
Preston-based accountants and business advisory practice WNJ says its work with Farmer Ted’s Adventure Farm in West Lancashire highlights how the scheme is available to companies in any sector.
Farmer Ted’s is now home to the UK’s only Shaun the Sheep farm attraction.
It opened its doors to visitors last year and follows a partnership between Aardman, the multi award-winning creators of Shaun the Sheep and Wallace & Gromit, and Farmer Ted's Adventure Farm.
Farmer Ted’s owners Diane and Mark Edwards were able to claim a five-figure sum in tax relief for the research and development work they carried out to ensure the new attraction would be a hit.
