What is the impact of the de minimis state aid impact on an R&D Claim?

The de minimis state aid impact can have a significant effect on an R&D claim, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). De minimis aid refers to a form of state aid provided by the government to businesses, but it is subject to a maximum allowable amount over a specified period. 

A company cannot claim SME R&D tax credit for costs within a project that are funded by De Minimis aid. It is essential for businesses to be aware of the de minimis state aid impact on their R&D claims and carefully monitor their funding sources to avoid crossing the threshold and potentially losing out on R&D tax incentives.
