Building something genuinely new? There may be relief for that.
Both the UK and the US reward companies that invest in developing new products, processes or technology — through R&D tax relief in the UK and R&D credits in the US. We identify what qualifies and prepare claims that hold up to increasing scrutiny.
Real relief, under real scrutiny
R&D reliefs can be valuable, but the rules on both sides have tightened and claims are examined more closely than they used to be. Overclaim and you risk enquiry and clawback; underclaim and you leave money behind. The skill is identifying genuinely qualifying work and evidencing it properly — which is exactly what we focus on.
Claims that qualify and hold up
Three steps, one team
Assess what qualifies
We review your projects against the definition of R&D and identify the work and costs that genuinely count — no more, no less.
Build the claim
We prepare the technical narrative, calculate the costs and put together documentation designed to withstand scrutiny.
Submit & support
We file the claim and stand behind it, supporting you if the authority asks questions.
The things clients ask first
Does my project actually count as R&D?
Not all development does — the work generally has to seek an advance in science or technology and resolve genuine uncertainty. We’ll assess your projects honestly against the current definition rather than stretching them.
Have the UK rules changed recently?
The UK R&D regime has been reformed and rates and scheme structures have shifted, with more scrutiny on claims. We’ll confirm the rules and rates that apply for your accounting period rather than relying on old figures.
Can we claim in both the UK and the US?
Potentially, if you have qualifying activity in each — but they’re separate regimes with separate rules. We’ll look at each side on its own terms and only claim where the work genuinely qualifies.
