Research and development tax incentives are a key policy initiative to encourage UK companies to invest in scientific or technological advancement. For accounting periods beginning on or after 1st April 2024, a valid claim can return approximately 15% to 27% of qualifying R&D expenditure back to the claimant company.
In this complex, multidisciplinary area of the UK tax landscape, we work closely with you to keep your strategy one step ahead. We help you move faster and smarter, and we are trusted by businesses of all sizes to get it right the first time.

Our Process
Whether we’re working with an existing client or a new prospect, our first port of call is to help your ‘competent professionals’ determine whether there is likely to be a valid R&D claim for the accounting period. Together we’ll ask the fundamental question, ‘is this project R&D for tax purposes’? We’ll give you our honest opinion upfront and free of charge.
If we’re good to go, we’ll carry out a tailored review of your projects, clearly separating what qualifies as R&D from what doesn’t. In parallel, we’ll work with your finance team to begin quantifying the associated qualifying R&D expenditure.
You’ll be supported by consultants with hands-on experience in engineering, science, software, and tax compliance. Every R&D claim submission includes robust documentation designed to mitigate the risk of an HMRC enquiry.
We stay ahead of the curve on new trends and rule changes. As proud members of The R&D Community—a professional network and training provider for R&D advisers—we bring the latest insights straight to your claim.
As a firm we are regulated by the ACCA and the ICAEW, we therefore comply with PCRT above and beyond HMRC’s standard for agents.
