The government has published draft legislation outlining a merger of the SME and RDEC schemes. This merged scheme, which could come into effect as early as 1 April 2024, will replace the existing separate schemes. Tax Advisory Partnership actively participated in the January 2023 consultation on the changes.
While the merger is not yet confirmed, the new scheme is expected to operate similarly to the RDEC scheme. It will offer a taxable credit based on a percentage of R&D expenditure, which can be offset against a company’s tax liability or, with some adjustments, paid out as cash to the business.
Initial Call
We will start by offering you a free initial call to discuss your company’s activities and whether R&D Tax Relief may be relevant to you.
R&D Tax Relief Claim Services
If, after our initial consultation, we determine that R&D tax relief is relevant to your business, we'll schedule a follow-up meeting to discuss your needs in detail. The R&D claim services we provide are tailored to your business, with options ranging from full claim preparation to guidance for in-house teams. Here are some examples of the services we offer:
Full Claim Preparation and Submission: We help you identify R&D activities within your business, analyse accounting records to determine eligible qualifying expenditure, prepare the claim and required supporting documentation to ensure compliance with HMRC R&D requirements, and, if necessary, handle negotiations with HMRC.
Compliance Review and Second Opinion: If you’ve already prepared an R&D claim, or worked with another adviser, we can review your submission to ensure it’s robust and will withstand HMRC scrutiny. This ensures your claim is free of common errors and omissions.
Assistance with R&D Claim Preparation: If you have in-house resources, we can assist with specific areas of the claim process. This lower-level service is ideal if you’re confident in preparing claims but need additional support to ensure compliance and maximise your claim.
R&D Tax Relief Training and Knowledge Transfer: For businesses looking to bring the R&D claims process in-house in future years, we offer comprehensive training. We’ll help embed a consistent methodology, provide ongoing guidance, and ensure you understand the documentation required for R&D tax relief claims.
HMRC Enquiry Support: If HMRC raises questions about your R&D claim, we provide support to resolve any issues related to claims prepared internally or by other advisers.

Our Clients Love us
We strive to deliver the best possible service to our clients. It is extremely rewarding to the team to receive positive feedback from clients.
There are times when we can help identify and expedite a tax refund, which are always gratefully received but for the majority of the time we help ensure that our clients remain compliant with their tax obligations and the amount of tax being paid is the correct amount and nothing more.
Always aware of opportunities to reduce taxes.
Excellent quality of work and very responsive to our demands
Exceptional service and patience! We really value the effort and support they have given us as a new start up.
Exceptional turn around time on any questions/problems presented
Exceptionally thorough responses delivered in a very timely manner.
Good advice about the closure of a ltd company, options have been explained in an understandable manner.
I have been Jamie's client for more than ten years and I keep being impressed with his client-centric, solution-orientated and straightforward approach to answering questions. I have not had a single tax question over the years where Jamie could not help in a professional, efficient and also cost-effective manner. This holds true for questions around various different jurisdictions and degrees of complexity. I can wholeheartedly recommend Jamie's services!
I needed some specialist tax advice in respect of a complicated capital reduction demerger, a partial buyout of my company. Without specialist advice the tax hit was going to be huge.
TAP Advisory were recommended to me by my accountant, and my solicitor was also very complimentary about TAP when they found out we would be working with them. Tap's reputation preceded them.
The fees TAP charged were reasonable in my eyes, and small in comparison to the money they saved me, I was VERY grateful for the advice and guidance.
TAP were great to deal with throughout, they kept me in the loop in laymans terms and liaised well with the other professionals looking after my interests.
I could not recommend them enough in respect of their extensive knowledge and experience.
I recently moved to the UK and TAP were very proactive at helping me understand the details of the law and how to reduce my tax exposure, they were also very patient responding promptly to all of my questions - great customer service!
In our company we see our TAP contact very much as one of our team. For example we see him as more of a part time employee than a service provider. To this extent he has always acted into his manner available whenever we need him and on demand. I have never thought of TAP as having other clients (even though I know they have), because the client servicing is amazing.
Personable, communicative and responsive
TAP have always delivered outstanding advice and support.
TAP sought ways to save us tax and made the process straightforward.
The service I have received has been impeccable and I would be glad to recommend your services to friends, family and clients etc. The whole process has been made extremely easy for me since day 1 from my consultation with Robert and then on to the preparation of the CGT Calculations and submission by Sydnie and the Team, all my questions were answered promptly and I was provided all the information I needed, so a big thank you again for your efforts.
They were able to turn a HMRC GBP25,000 tax bill for income received in Germany into a GBP600 refund within a month!
