Do R&D tax credits apply to sole traders?

As R&D tax credits are limited to companies that are liable to pay corporation tax, sole traders do not qualify for R&D tax relief. 

According to recent HMRC legislation, companies that source sole traders to work on research and development related projects can claim the sole traders expense within their R&D tax credits claim.
