R&D Tax Relief
Our experience
We use a proven methodology to ensure that claims are clear, robust and maximised, while minimising the time required from clients and their staff. We have experience of making claims across a wide range of industries, from the travel sector to mining, software development, food manufacturing, translation, financial services, engineering and pharmaceuticals. No industry should be thought of as ‘off the table’. Our team also has experience of submitting claims on behalf of companies of very different scales – from the largest multinational groups to small start-ups of only a few people.
If your company is undertaking any kind of product, process or system development, then you should be thinking about R&D Tax Relief, and we would be please to discuss this with you.

Initial call
We will start by offering you a free initial call to discuss your company’s activities and whether R&D Tax Relief may be relevant to you.
Claim services
If from this initial call it is determined that R&D is relevant to your business, we will offer you a meeting. The range of R&D claim services we can provide will depend on each client’s individual needs. However, some examples of the services we offer include the following:
Full claim preparation and submission, including determining where the R&D activity happens in your business, analysing your accounting records to establish the qualifying expenditure, preparing the claim and supporting documentation to meet the requirements of HMRC and, if required, negotiation of the claim with HMRC;
A compliance review or second opinion to ensure that an R&D claim prepared by you, or another adviser will be robust to HMRC scrutiny and doesn’t contain obvious points of omission or error;
Assistance with your own claim preparation and submission. For example, if you have resource in-house and would like us to provide you with a lower-level service than we would provide with full claim preparation and submission. We would not advise this option if you have not made a claim in a previous year;
Knowledge transfer and training on the R&D Tax Relief claims process. If you wish to take the process largely in-house in future years we can assist you by training your people, embedding a methodology and providing guidance on the documentation you will need;
Assistance with HMRC enquiries into R&D claims which you have prepared in-house or which have been prepared by another adviser.
