Boost to Cyclacel’s Finances: £2.3 Million R&D Tax Credit from HMRC
Strategic Importance of R&D Tax Breaks: Pending Approval for 2023 Tax Credit Rate
Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYCC, NASDAQ: CYCCP) recently announced that it has been awarded a research and development (R&D) tax credit by HMRC, the UK government’s tax agency, totaling a substantial £2.3 million, or roughly $2.9 million. This significant infusion of funds is connected to the R&D expenses that the business incurred in the fiscal year that ended on December 31, 2023. In addition, Cyclacel expects to receive an extra $0.8 million, pending approval of an updated tax breaks rate for the 2023 expenses.
Paul McBarron, Cyclacel’s Executive Vice President of Finance and Chief Operating Officer, thanked the company for the financial support and emphasised the importance of the R&D tax breaks as a crucial source of non-dilutive capital. Cyclacel’s continued efforts are greatly aided by this cash infusion, especially when it comes to evaluating potential precision medicine approaches for its oral fadraciclib and oral plogosertib clinical prospects. These candidates seek to target cancer indications that are difficult and have significant unmet medical requirements.
