What are R&D tax credits?

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. Claims submitted under the R&D regimes stem from activity undertaken where the aim has been to achieve an advance in either science or technology through the development of new and/or significant improvement of products, devices, materials and systems.

As R&D tax credit experts, we specialise in securing claims that are above the national average. It’s thanks to a refreshingly different approach which we believe is unique among tax consultancies.

Our team is led by highly skilled engineers and accountants who all share forensic attention to detail and an eye for the opportunity for the client to save money.

This means we can quickly identify those projects eligible for tax relief, including investments in new products, services, software and processes.
