Reduce your research investment costs by filing for R&D tax credits.
Trust the experts.

Braithwaite can assist you in obtaining tax credits for research and development activities. We take the uncertainty out of the filing process and relieve pressure on internal resource requirements.

Our consultants each have many years of experience with the R&D tax credit program. They can help you in every step of the way: identifying eligible activities, preparing claim write-ups, gathering and keeping documentation and defending claims during enquiries.

We can save you time and money

Applying for the R&D credit can be complex. Writing reports and costing activities addressing Inland Revenue specific requirements veer company employees away from core activities.

The process can also be expensive. There are internal costs involved in the identification of projects and the collection of documents. There is also an opportunity cost of not properly identifying a project or underestimating its size. And there are extra costs if a company needs to defend a poorly prepared claim. No doubt some companies believe it is not worth their time and leave R&D tax credits unclaimed. However, successful claims can significantly improve bottom-lines.

This is where Braithwaite can come in and assist your company. For over twenty years we have helped clients to recover a significant portion of the cost of their investment in R&D. Based on a time proven methodology, our consultants can handle the tasks involved in making a claim, maximizing your return and reducing the burden on your own resources.

Simple and proven methodology

Through interviews our consultants gain an in-depth understanding of your processes and products, gathering the necessary information to prepare technical and financial reports. Our experience with UK and European tax laws (both applicable for the R&D Tax Credit claim) allows us to assist you in identifying eligible activities, and properly applying costs to those activities.

At Braithwaite you deal with senior consultants

It takes us two years to train an experienced technical and tax consultant to effectively identify eligible projects and apply relevant costs. Our team of 27 scientists and engineers have strong technical backgrounds and significant training and experience in the R&D tax credit program. They understand the ground rules and the types of activities that qualify for incentives.

Professional approach in every aspect

Clients engage us in all stages of the claim process:

• Preparation of technical and costing submissions
• Staff training through seminars or as part of the claim process set up
• Claim tracking and follow-up
• Assistance with Inland Revenue enquiries
• Appeals of claims denied fully or in part
• Acting as expert witnesses and advising lawyers in court cases
• Establishment of cost-and-activity-tracking systems to document R&D

We listen to our clients, maintain them informed of the work we do and keep to our deadlines. If there are any changes in scope, we will seek your approval. We deal with problems openly and react quickly. We initiate and anticipate.
