Research and Development Tax Relief Consultants
Looking to cut your costs? If you have developed or are in the process of developing a new or appreciably improved product, process, or software system and are having to overcome scientific or technology challenges in the process, then your company can qualify for this valuable benefit!

 

  • Do you employ scientists, engineers, software developers or technicians?

  • Have you developed a new product?

  • Have you appreciably improved an existing product?

  • Have you improved an existing manufacturing process?

  • Have you conducted in-house R&D?

  • Have you developed software in-house?

  • Are you a Small or Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) that has subcontracted out any of the above?

If the answer to any of these questions is ‘yes’, then you could be eligible to claim R&D tax relief.

 

The benefit can be a cash credit to your business that is worth as much as 24.5% of your company's expenditure on Research and Development. That's right - if you employ only 4 software developers performing eligible  work at £25,000 each, you could be entitled to a cheque from HMRC for £24,500!
