RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Research and Development (R&D) tax reliefs supports companies that work on innovative projects in science and technology.
INNOVATION AND R&d TAX RELIEFS
R&D Tax Reliefs are designed to boost innovation across industries by supporting businesses in overcoming a challenge with their product, process, or service.
If you’re spending money developing or significantly improving a product, process, or service – and advancing knowledge – you may qualify for R&D tax credits.
Many business owners still believe their company won’t be eligible, but irrespective of the sector you operate in, you could still have qualifying costs. We’ve seen a huge increase in companies benefiting from R&D Tax Reliefs across sectors such as construction & architecture, food & drink, technology, logistics, engineering and manufacturing to name just a few.
Along with research and development, tax reliefs can also be claimed on many creative outputs and patented innovations, including video game development and the production of film, TV, and theatre.
Our Innovation Tax Reliefs team houses a wealth of experience gained both in practice and in senior positions within HMRC, providing a great combination of tax and industry based experience. This allows us to critically analyse the challenges you’ve overcome and look at the costs incurred to access your eligibility to claim, gathering the evidence needed to submit a robust report to HMRC.

I hadn't realised we qualified for R&D tax relief until TC Group convinced us to go down that road - that's been worth £150k to the business.
