R&D Tax Credit Claims Made Simple!

Research & Development (R&D) tax relief is the government’s incentive to reward the time and investment UK businesses have put into solving unusual business problems. It allows firms to claim additional tax savings on many of the costs they incur while developing new products or processes, or improving existing ones.

Who qualifies for R&D tax credits?

Any UK-registered limited company, in any industry sector, can apply for R&D tax credits. A successful claim leads to Corporation Tax relief and, for many companies, results in cash remittances from HMRC.

Is your business eligible for R&D tax credit?

Team meeting at a table
Limited Company

All UK-registered limited companies are eligible under the R&D Tax Credit Scheme. A limited liability partnership (LLP) may only claim if the R&D project is undertaken in partnership with a Corporation Tax-paying firm. Sole traders are ineligible.

Carrying out R&D activities

HMRC set down a complex set of criteria as to what kind of activity qualifies for relief under the R&D Tax Credit Scheme. Fundamentally, the R&D must involve the increase in overall knowledge or capability in a field of science or technology. This means improving on the knowledge that’s publicly available or the capability of a competent professional working in the field.

How your spending qualifies

There is a lot that can qualify for R&D tax relief. This can range from planning, designing, testing and analysis methods through to the creation and adaptation of materials, equipment or software. Even staff time given to things like the record-keeping, maintenance, security protection and training in relation to the R&D project can all count under the R&D Tax Credit Scheme.

What makes us different

With RDA

We keep you up to date with government legislation

With our plain-English bulletins, we run through all the latest initiatives for R&D, so you don’t have to. If you want it, we will also provide R&D best-practice coaching and workshops.

Personalised one-to-one approach

Our dedicated Client Managers will work with you to provide an individual, forensic analysis on each project you undertake. We provide a confidential R&D record-keeping service and intellectual-property assessment and advocacy you can call on at any time.

We’ll do all the hard work for you

We also understand that businesses are busy, that time is a valuable asset and our process is designed to take up as little of it as possible. Even so, we are there whenever you need us.

Without RDA

No personalised one-to-one contact

Breaking new ground with R&D is not a straightforward process and how a project is communicated to HMRC is the key to a successful claim. The task requires not only an expert tax agent, but also an expert communicator.

Extensive form fill

Claims under the HMRC Tax Credits Scheme can be complex and laborious to complete, requiring a lot of thresholds to be met. As the company behind the R&D, jumping through all those hoops alone only makes it harder.

No best-practice advice

To understand how best to undertake R&D work, with the methods and processes involved, requires a breadth of experience in dealing with lots of different companies in lots of different sectors. Not every R&D firm or tax agent can say they do.

We’re committed to creating opportunities in the sport and sustainability sectors through our sponsorship partners.

At RDA we love sport – and we find the commitment and discipline of the sports teams and athletes we work with inspirational. That’s why we try to give something back to the sports sector through our sponsorships. We also care deeply about sustainability, which is why we became platinum partners of the Essex Wildlife Trust.
