Our Services

At TAP we are able to offer our clients Big 4 expertise, but with a more open and flexible approach to client service and fees.

 

Our fees

Our fees are structured in order to ensure that companies undertaking qualifying R&D activity receive as much of the cash benefit of making an R&D claim as possible.

If you would like more information on our services and fees, please call us on 020 80371030 or complete the form on this page and a member of the R&D team will come straight back to you.

The government has published draft legislation setting out the design for a merged SME and RDEC scheme, replacing the separate existing schemes. This is following an initial consultation in January 2023, in which Tax Advisory Partnership actively participated. The new merged scheme could come into force as early as 1 April 2024, however, the introduction of a merged scheme is not yet confirmed.

It is suggested that this merged scheme will operate in a similar manner to the existing RDEC scheme, rather than the SME scheme. The merged scheme will offer a taxable credit, based on a percentage of R&D expenditure, that can be offset against a company’s tax liability or, subject to some adjustments, be paid in cash to the business.

 

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.

Please contact us for a free consultation by calling either 02080371030 or by completing the online enquiry form on this page.

Our Clients Love us

We strive to deliver the best possible service to our clients.  It is extremely rewarding to the team to receive positive feedback from clients. 

There are times when we can help identify and expedite a tax refund, which are always gratefully received but for the majority of the time we help ensure that our clients remain compliant with their tax obligations and the amount of tax being paid is the correct amount and nothing more.

Always aware of opportunities to reduce taxes.

Management Consultant, Oil & Gas

I have been Jamie's client for more than ten years and I keep being impressed with his client-centric, solution-orientated and straightforward approach to answering questions. I have not had a single tax question over the years where Jamie could not help in a professional, efficient and also cost-effective manner. This holds true for questions around various different jurisdictions and degrees of complexity. I can wholeheartedly recommend Jamie's services!

Private Equity Executive and Entrepreneur

I needed some specialist tax advice in respect of a complicated capital reduction demerger, a partial buyout of my company. Without specialist advice the tax hit was going to be huge.

TAP Advisory were recommended to me by my accountant, and my solicitor was also very complimentary about TAP when they found out we would be working with them. Tap's reputation preceded them.

The fees TAP charged were reasonable in my eyes, and small in comparison to the money they saved me, I was VERY grateful for the advice and guidance.

TAP were great to deal with throughout, they kept me in the loop in laymans terms and liaised well with the other professionals looking after my interests.

I could not recommend them enough in respect of their extensive knowledge and experience.

Paul
Managing Director of Audiology Business

I recently moved to the UK and TAP were very proactive at helping me understand the details of the law and how to reduce my tax exposure, they were also very patient responding promptly to all of my questions - great customer service!

Mergers & Acquisitions, BP

In our company we see our TAP contact very much as one of our team. For example we see him as more of a part time employee than a service provider. To this extent he has always acted into his manner available whenever we need him and on demand. I have never thought of TAP as having other clients (even though I know they have), because the client servicing is amazing.
