If your business invests in research and development, there is no reason not to make use of the R&D tax credit claim. A claim can be made in one of three ways:
- Submit a claim to HMRC yourself
- Ask your accountant to submit a claim on your behalf
- Use an R&D specialist to submit your claim
While we may be biased, we strongly recommend making a claiming via a specialist. Even if you don’t use Green Jellyfish, make sure you use a specialist. There are several good reasons for this:
- A specialist submits R&D claims all day, every day. They know exactly what HMRC are looking for.
- This e results in maximised claims
- The fee a specialist charges is more than made up for by ensuring a robust and fully maximised claim is submitted
Don’t get us wrong, we love accountants. They’re great at what they do but they aren’t specialised in the field. It would be like asking a car mechanic to service an aeroplane; sure, they might have some idea of what to look for, but they will possess no more than a rudimentary understanding.
Many accountants refer R&D cases to companies like ourselves – we work with accountancy firms up and down the country that trust us to submit R&D claims on behalf of their clients.
At Green Jellyfish, our award-winning team help businesses to innovate and succeed. Our work speaks for itself.
