02_ Your Client Journey
Assessing your eligibility
We work with companies of all sizes and from all sectors and are experts at identifying qualifying projects. By taking the time to get to know your business, how you work and what you do, we’ll be able to give you a definitive answer about whether you qualify for a successful R&D claim.
We know your time is precious, so we work efficiently, but thoroughly, doing all the heavy lifting ourselves. There’s no need for you to spend hours filling out forms for us; we know what questions to ask to get the information we require as easily as possible. And if you’d like us to liaise directly with your accountants, then we’ll arrange that too.
Our 100% success rate has been achieved because we’re R&D legislation and application specialists. We never make a claim unless we’re confident of success.
Ask us to assess your business activites.
Speak to a member of our friendly and knowledgeable team today and find out if your business is eligible.
If your business activities qualify you to make a claim, we will gather the necessary information to allow us to complete the technical narrative and cost analysis documents HMRC require. A sector specialist member of our team will analyse your business activities to determine the full extent of your qualifying R&D activities and costs, to allow us to maximise your claim. Once we’ve done that, it’ll go before our Quality Assurance Team who will make sure your application meets every one of our stringent quality assurance standards.
Submitting your claim
Once we’re fully satisfied we’ve built a comprehensive and strong claim, we will present our report to you for review. It will include a technical narrative, breakdown of the costs you’ve incurred in the course of your R&D activities and a summary showing how we’ve arrived at your total benefit figure. We won’t file anything until we have your seal of approval. Once you’re happy, we’ll amend your CT600 and file your application with HMRC.
Liaising with HMRC
The last thing you need is diary reminders to check on the progress of your application, or requests from HMRC for further information. We know how to minimise enquiries and ensure a smooth process which is why we take care of all of that for you, keeping you in the loop at all times of course.
Receiving your reward
Most claims take between four and six weeks to be processed by HMRC. RDEC claims can sometimes take a little longer. Once your claim has successfully been processed, you will be rewarded for your investment in innovation with a deduction in your Corporation Tax bill if you are profitable. If you are a loss-making organisation, you will see a tax-free benefit paid directly into your bank account at the end of the financial year.
Once your claim has successfully been processed.
You are free to spend the benefit in whatever way you see fit. That could be hiring another member of staff, buying more equipment, or even paying dividends.
And rest assured, we’ll deliver the good news – and your funds - as soon as they are received. You can then get started on the next phase of your innovative work.
03_ Testimonials
I would recommend them as a very approachable and knowledgeable tax team. I wasn't aware of the R&D tax relief however they explained it very well, helping us to understand our qualifying projects and made the process very straightforward.
Oliver
We had used a different company for R&D in the past, but we have found that RDT Active were the best as they were helpful, friendly and professional throughout the process.
George
I've been very pleased with the swift service provided by RDT. I was contacted by their technical team who asked for all the relevant information they required and I was very happy with the report they had submitted for me.
