Research & Development (R&D)

Since the introduction of the R&D tax scheme in 2000, the great majority of British companies that could be eligible for the scheme are not claiming. It is widely accepted that more than £10 billion has been left unclaimed since the introduction of the scheme in the UK. This money could have been reinvested into further improvement and development of products and manufacturing processes.

We work in partnership with technology specialists, who have a deep knowledge and understanding of HMRC’s R&D policy and regulations. Their scientific background allows them to speak the language of our clients to identify eligible activity and processes often hidden in the daily routines of their production and process work.

Our technology specialists work in many industry sectors and with companies of all sizes, from small SME’s to larger companies in the £100 – £300million bracket, some of which are part of larger £1billion groups.
