Patent Box
Patent Box Tax Relief – Reduce Corporation Tax on Your Intellectual Property
The UK Patent Box regime allows qualifying companies to pay a reduced effective Corporation Tax rate of 10% on profits generated from patented inventions and certain other intellectual property — compared to the main rate of 25%.
At Vantage R&D, we help engineering and technology businesses identify, calculate, and maximise Patent Box relief — often in combination with their R&D tax claims — so they can retain more of the value from their innovation.
How the Patent Box Works
If your business owns or exclusively licenses qualifying patents, you can apply the Patent Box to reduce the tax on the portion of your profits that relates to those patented products, processes, or technologies.
This can deliver substantial tax savings, particularly for companies in motorsport, automotive engineering, quantum technology, and advanced manufacturing that develop and protect innovative IP.
If you need advice from our team, which has handled HMRC enquiries for over 10 years, get in touch to arrange a no-obligation call with one of our senior advisors.
What Our Patent Box Service Includes
We provide end-to-end support tailored to technically driven businesses:
Eligibility Assessment — We review your patents and IP portfolio to determine what qualifies for Patent Box relief.
Profit Allocation & Calculations — Using our engineering understanding, we help accurately identify and apportion qualifying IP profits.
Integration with R&D Claims — We optimise Patent Box alongside your R&D tax relief claims for maximum combined benefit.

Why Combine Patent Box with R&D Tax Relief?
Many of our clients in quantum, automotive, and motorsport develop patented technology through R&D projects. Claiming both reliefs together can significantly improve your overall tax position. We specialise in making sure the two incentives work seamlessly without conflict.
