[dcc](https://www.winnovart.com/news/author/dcc) May 16, 2018 Only 20% of UK small and medium enterprises eligible to receive tax refunds for innovation apply. These 20% received £1.3 billion in the 2015-2016 tax year alone. Altogether, **SMEs and large enterprises have received nearly £3 billion in this period**. For more information on the R&D Tax Credits you could also [read our summary of the statistics on the R&D Tax Credits in the UK](https://www.winnovart.com/rd-tax-credits-in-the-uk-statistics-of-an-under-exploited-funding-support-mechanism-on-the-uk-market/) pulished by HMRC, September 2017. At Winnovart we want to figure out why this is and **help more companies claim this benefit**. Therefore, we have prepared **a five question survey**, which would help us get insights on the **level of awareness across innovative companies and industries in the UK**. For those filling in our 2-min questionnaire, we would be very happy to **offer a free assessment of the eligibility and potential tax benefit under the R&D tax credit scheme**. We will also publish the survey results in July – August 2018.   [![](https://www.winnovart.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Take-Survey-Now-1-3.png?width=205&height=50&name=Take-Survey-Now-1-3.png "Take Survey Now")](https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/S9ZB332)   At Winnovart, our focus has always been grants-based funding programmes, such as the ones from Innovate UK, EC/ Horizon 2020 or similar. Although under different terms, **the R&D tax credit scheme offered by HMRC represents a way faster and less competitive alternative for R&D performing / innovative companies in the UK to receive a “funding-type” support.** Or, for those successfully receiving innovation grants, a very good “funding add-on”.
