R&D TAX CREDITS & TAX RELIEFS

When you work with Growthviser, you will be matched with a specialist growth adviser. They will invest their time and expertise in helping you grow, if you would value such support.

Your specialist advisor will work alongside you and your team, making R&D tax credits a launchpad for what could be a programme of dynamic growth or a strengthening of your business. In other words, we will take the ethos of the HMRC R&D tax credit scheme and really make it work, in practice, within your business.

Your advisor will be with you throughout your journey and will not just be in touch once a year, when it’s time to review your R&D claim. Use them as your sounding board and dedicated consultant, as that’s what they are.

R&D Tax Credits Explained

R&D tax credits and tax reliefs were devised to help British businesses grow faster. Research & development may sound like a dark art, but it isn’t just for scientists!

These research and development tax credits are designed to reward British companies, of all shapes and sizes, for their decision to invest time and money in research and innovation.

Thinking that it’s all about laboratories and rocket science is probably why two-thirds of eligible businesses have not yet submitted and R&D claim and therefore miss out!

R&D tax relief is available to UK companies of all sizes and can apply to product development, process development and improvement, software development, quality-driven innovation and much more.

Furthermore, other activities relating to these disciplines can be included within your R&D claim, with project management being just one example.

If that is you, you can get in touch here.

What counts as research and innovation?

The definition of these terms is far wider in scope than many companies believe. R&D can occur in many fields – engineering, manufacturing, farming, recreation, education, construction and even administration. R&D tax relief is available to UK companies of all sizes and can apply to product development, process development and improvement, software development, quality-driven innovation and much more. Furthermore, other activities relating to these disciplines can be included within your R&D claim, with project management being just one example.

How will my business benefit from R&D tax credits?

UK companies which are eligible for R&D tax relief, having spent time and money on research and innovation, can make a R&D tax credit claim that typically results in a reward of either:

a cash payment
a reduction in their Corporation Tax bill

If you believe you have missed out on this, there is some good news, as backdated R&D tax relief claims can be made for the last two completed accounting periods.

Claiming back what is legally yours could have a positive effect on your business, providing you with extra cash within the business.

Our Approach

Fair and Transparent Charges

We will only charge a fee if we are successful with your R&D claim, so please get in touch today.

We will charge you only a fraction of the fees of other research & development tax credit consultancies, at a rate that is fair, transparent and on a decreasing scale, in recognition of the fact that the first claim and learning all about your business, takes more time than subsequent claims.

You end up with more money in the bank – often from a tax claim you didn’t know you could make.

This service is the one for any business which needs handholding throughout the claims process, or which is time-poor and does not have the hours required to complete the paperwork themselves.

Lune Valley Timber Buildings

“We really appreciated the personal and professional service Growthviser provided. When we initially spoke with Richard and Darina, during our initial meeting, it became apparent we had a significant amount of research and development which we had not accounted for previously.
Growthviser had extensive manufacturing knowledge and invested a lot of time learning the ins and outs of our business in order to produce the report required. The report for submission was prepared carefully and thoroughly, which resulted in an exceptional R&D tax refund.
The Growthviser team continues to work with us, helping the business with both R&D tax refunds and business grants."

Sam Westworth
Managing director

North West Dairy Farm

"We are a forward thinking Dairy Farm always looking out for both functional and financial ways of enhancing the business.
When Richard at Growthviser contacted us we were delighted to learn of the tax relief available to us in conjunction with the research and development we carry out on the farm. Richard and Darina’s knowledge of the farming processes made claiming R&D tax relief seamless, structured and straight forward. The claim began with an initial meeting to discuss and discover the R&D taking place within the business currently and back dating two financial years. This was then followed up with a completed R&D report prepared by Growthviser for us to review before submission.
Growthviser has allowed us to further invest into the business and we continue to work with them as they highlight the R&D potentials on the farm and grants available to allow us to continually improve our business.
We would thoroughly recommend the Growthviser team to any businesses looking to recoup investments in innovation."

Joe Wannop

Bowland Beef and Pork Ltd

“When Richard first approached us with regards to potential R&D tax relief for our business I was unsure and a little sceptical about the process.
During the initial meeting with Richard and Darina they highlighted to us a couple of larger projects we had undertaken which had included elements of research and development. We discussed the projects further and reports were produced by Growthviser.
To date, we have successfully completed two R&D claims which have been paid out promptly. We cannot recommend Growthviser enough and we continue to work with the Growthviser team as they help us to identify R&D within current and future projects.”
