R&D Tax Credits and Innovation Incentives
Turn Innovation Into Impact
If your business is investing in new products, improving processes, or developing technology, you may be entitled to valuable R&D tax relief. Too many companies miss out because they don’t realise what qualifies.
At Collective Concepts Accounting, we help you identify, claim, and maximise Research & Development (R&D) tax credits, so your innovation gets the recognition and reward it deserves.
What Qualifies as R&D?
You don’t need to be wearing lab coats or developing cutting-edge tech. If you are improving scientific or technological knowledge, with a product you can't just buy off the shelf, you may be eligible.
You could be:
- Improving systems
- Developing internal platforms
- Automating processes
- Creating new recipes, prototypes or materials
- Tackling technical or scientific challenges
- Modifying existing tools to work in a new way
If you’ve had to overcome uncertainty to achieve a result — it could qualify.
Our R&D Services:
- Eligibility assessment and project scoping
- Preparation of technical reports
- Calculating qualifying costs (staff, software, materials, etc.)
- Filing claims under SME or RDEC schemes
- Liaising with HMRC and defending claims if challenged
- Ongoing reviews to ensure compliance
We work across multiple sectors - from SaaS and engineering to manufacturing, retail, and food production.
How we can help…
R&D tax relief can significantly reduce your Corporation Tax liability - or even result in a cash repayment. We ensure your claim is robust, justified, and tailored to HMRC’s expectations.
You focus on innovation. We’ll make sure you’re rewarded for it.
