R&D Tax Relief Support for UK Companies
R&D tax relief can reduce a company's tax bill or provide a payable credit where qualifying research and development takes place. Whether your work qualifies depends on HMRC's rules. We introduce you to specialist advisers who can assess it.
Why businesses look for this
- You develop products, software or processes and wonder whether the work qualifies.
- You have heard of the relief but do not know where to start.
- You want a specialist to check eligibility and prepare a claim.
How it works
- Tell us what your business develops or improves.
- We explain the relief at a general level.
- With your consent, we introduce a specialist R&D tax adviser.
- The adviser assesses eligibility, explains fees and handles the claim steps.
Who may benefit
UK limited companies that spend on developing new or improved products, processes or software.
Limitations to know about
- Not all innovation qualifies. HMRC applies a specific definition of R&D.
- Rules, rates and forms change, so check current GOV.UK guidance.
- Some claims need a claim notification and an additional information form before the claim is made.
- No one can promise that a claim will succeed or how much relief you will receive.
Our role: Introducer. Specialist advisers assess eligibility and prepare claims. We do not give tax advice.
Official sources
