Are you missing out on a tax-free payment from the government? R&D tax credits allow you to offset the cost of R&D activity against your tax bill and also receive a cash lump sum on top. If your business is eligible, you could receive a payment from HMRC within 28 days of making a claim.
We have helped our clients to save almost £1 million in tax with successful claims for R&D tax credits. With an average £11k saving client, this could provide a much-needed income boost in what is a challenging period for many businesses.
R&D tax credits – Key facts
- Claim tax relief of up to 130% on any expenses related to R&D including materials and labour costs
- Back-date claims in the first year to cover three accounting periods (effectively three claims at once)
What counts as R&D?
- Activity leading to the development of a new product, service or process
- Activity leading to the modification and subsequent improvement of an existing product, service or process
How we can help

Claim checklist:
- Your business has spent money on R&D activity
- You are registered as a company not an individual
