Research and Development (R&D) tax relief is awarded to businesses that invest in innovation. This innovation can be in the form of developing new systems, processes, products, materials, devices, or any changes to the way your business works.

The chances are your business is doing R&D without even realising – it’s not just for people in white lab coats!

Our team are experts in R&D legislation. We will determine if your activities are eligible for tax relief and if so, we’ll get you the best possible return.

Government created Research & Development legislation as an incentive to encourage businesses that are developing new, or appreciably improving existing, products, processes, systems and materials — and thereby increasing the country’s wealth creation capacity.

HMRC’s regional departments will analyse and check R&D reports and the costs identified.

HM Revenue & Customs are therefore very skilled at processing these claims. Our specialist advisers liaise with them daily, on your behalf, and in the unlikely event of any issues being raised it is part of our commitment to you to resolve these.

Typical claim items include staff costs, materials, utilities, reimbursed travel costs and sub-contractor costs.

We charge no up-front costs, and should we fail to identify a claim then we will not charge you a fee at all. In other words, we operate on a ‘No Win, No Fee’ basis. Also, we do not charge for submission fees so there will be no surprises when it comes to your claim being filed with HM Revenue and Customs. We also offer all clients 6-year report protection as part of our service.
