R&D Tax Relief is a generous incentive to encourage innovation within the UK, and to attract investment from overseas
The UK Government’s Research and Development (R&D) Tax Relief is a way of giving companies involved in innovation tax relief on the costs involved. The system also helps make the UK attractive to overseas businesses.
There are two distinct schemes, the SME (small and medium enterprises) scheme and the Large Company scheme. We can advise you on the differences and which scheme is relevant to your business.
R&D Tax Relief is under utilised and there are many misconceptions; that it is only applicable for traditional ‘science’ led sectors; that it’s too complex and time consuming; and that it’s only for a narrow range of R&D activities.
Our team’s strength is in their knowledge of the tax relief, the requirements of submitting a claim and their tenacity in managing the claim proces from start to a successful outcome.
How Alliotts’ R&D specialists will help you with your R&D tax relief claim
- We’ll start by identifying areas where you are eligible to make a claim.
- We’ll then manage the complex application process on your behalf.
- We’ll liaise with HMRC to ensure that you receive the correct tax relief due, promptly.

R&D Tax Relief
Clair provides clients across the firm with advice and assistance in respect of R&D tax credits claims and oversees a team of specialists providing R&D tax relief services. This is an area of tax law that has seen a lot of change over the last couple of years and clients have needed careful guidance to ensure compliance and maximising their claim returns.
Clair helps clients to ensure their claims are robust, well-structured and demonstrate all the required criteria for eligibility. As HMRC have increased the number of enquiries in this area recently to target fraud Clair also helps clients defend the legitimacy of their claims.
