How can we help?

At TAP we provide HMRC-compliant R&D Tax Credit services tailored to innovative businesses. We offer a unique blend of technical expertise, experience, and a delivery approach where the client’s needs are our priority.

We work with owner managed businesses and private equity backed groups, together with large international and quoted groups.

Working across the UK and leveraging our international network, we can bring the latest tax opportunities based on evolving tax legislation and HM Revenue & Custom’s (HMRC) approach.

We have brought together a number of detailed webpages that should help you if your business is involved in creating intellectual property, developing techniques to improve efficiencies or working on developing ground-breaking ideas in your sector. Our pages will help you determine if your R&D activities are likely to qualify for tax relief and our R&D Tax calculator should help you quantify the amount that may be available to you.

If you are considering investment in R&D our team can help you understand what types of expenditure will be allowed and the best way to organise your accounting processes to ensure your claim is successful.
