The professional, scientific and technical sector is huge, made up of some of the most R&D intensive industries, such as architecture, engineering and advertising.
Just under 20% of the relief goes to companies within this sector, and whilst this number is lower than last year, the average claim value remains well above the overall average, coming in at nearly £80K for SME claims, over £755K for RDEC, and over £92K for SMEs claiming RDEC.
