Clear answers before you move forward.

Eligibility depends on your activities, expenditure, business structure and the rules for each relief. An initial discussion helps identify what merits specialist review.

Tell us about your business and the work or investment you would like to discuss. Reclaim Tax UK coordinates the assessment and explains the information needed before you decide whether to proceed.

A summary of your activities, relevant accounting periods and any recent company accounts or project records is a useful starting point. We can help you identify further information needed.

Reclaim Tax UK manages your relationship and coordinates the process from initial assessment through to completion. We work with multiple specialist delivery partners; appointed technical and tax professionals may undertake specialist elements of your claim.

Timing depends on complexity, the availability of records and HMRC processing. We discuss the stages with you and coordinate progress updates without promising a fixed turnaround.

A project must seek an advance in science or technology through resolving scientific or technological uncertainty. Routine improvements, commercial innovation or simply developing a new product do not establish eligibility. Both successful and unsuccessful work may merit review.

For accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2024, the merged RDEC scheme provides a taxable gross expenditure credit of 20% for ordinary non-ring-fenced trades. The calculator illustrates that credit and, where a suitable Corporation Tax rate is selected, an indicative after-tax benefit. It does not assess eligibility or calculate a guaranteed payment.

Potential categories include staffing, eligible externally provided workers, eligible contracted-out R&D, software, consumables, data and cloud computing. Only qualifying costs can be claimed, with restrictions including overseas expenditure and contracting arrangements. Appointed specialists review the appropriate allocation.

Qualifying loss-making R&D-intensive SMEs may be eligible for Enhanced R&D Intensive Support (ERIS), which has separate eligibility and calculation rules. We can coordinate an assessment; the calculator does not apply ERIS automatically.

Claim and notification deadlines must be checked for the relevant period and your claim history. Earlier periods may fall under different rules. Tell us the period dates promptly so the applicable requirements can be reviewed.

Capital allowances may let a business deduct qualifying capital expenditure when calculating taxable profits. The amount and timing depend on the assets, expenditure and applicable allowance; it is not a fixed proportion of property value.

Potentially. Ownership, purchase history, previous claims, fixtures rules and relevant elections or deadlines need review. Appointed professionals can assess the records and arrange a survey where needed.

Eligible companies can elect to apply an effective 10% Corporation Tax rate to qualifying Patent Box profits. Qualifying rights, development activity and the calculation of relevant profits must be reviewed.

Qualifying companies may be able to claim a total deduction of 150% for qualifying remediation expenditure. This is a deduction, not a cash repayment of the costs. Eligibility depends on the land, work and other conditions, including responsibility for the contamination.

Yes. We coordinate with your accountant and the appointed specialists to organise information requests and agree preparation and submission responsibilities.

You will need to provide relevant records and input from people familiar with the activities. We help organise requests and explain what is needed, reducing the administration you need to navigate.

HMRC may ask questions about a claim. Well-supported preparation matters, but submission or payment does not mean HMRC has approved the qualifying position.

If HMRC raises questions about work completed through Reclaim Tax UK, the support available will be explained as part of your engagement. Share correspondence promptly so we can coordinate the next steps within the agreed scope.

We remain your principal point of contact for progress and agreed follow-up. The tax treatment, payment steps and HMRC processing depend on your circumstances; a claim does not guarantee a cash payment.

We work on a contingency basis, so our fee is linked to a successful outcome. The exact fee depends on the engagement and is agreed before any work begins.

The engagement terms explain what the fee relates to, how a successful outcome is defined and when payment is due. You know the commercial terms before proceeding.

We agree the scope, fees and support arrangements with you before work begins. Ask us to explain anything you are unsure about before accepting the engagement.

The records depend on the relief and accounting period. Company accounts, project descriptions, costs and evidence of the technical work are useful starting points. We coordinate requests for the information needed to support the claim.

We explain the document-sharing arrangements for your engagement. Please ask us about access, use and retention before sending sensitive information.

We can help identify what records are available and what else is needed. Missing evidence can affect whether a claim can be supported.
