If you run an SME, you’ve probably heard of R&D (Research and Development). If not, let us briefly explain… It’s a government scheme created to encourage businesses to invest in innovative research and development. The government will reimburse up to a third of your R&D costs if they determine that what you are doing is ‘novel’. You can even retrospectively claim R&D tax relief, going back as far as two accounting periods.
It’s a no-brainer!
For many of the businesses that we’ve helped submit R&D tax claims, this has meant a substantial cash injection. It’s really a no-brainer for business owners; if we find there’s nothing worth attempting to claim R&D on or our claim is rejected by the Revenue (this has never happened), we won’t charge you a penny.
No win, no fee… Seriously.
However, if we are able to make a claim, our fee is a small percentage of the total sum of the claim.
So, as far as you’re concerned, it’s essentially free money…
In our opinion, SMEs pay more than their fair share of tax. As such, nothing makes us happier than helping small businesses claw back some of that tax via a nice fat R&D tax rebate!
