Approach and Competitive Advantage
RD Tax Credits UK Ltd emphasises its specialisation in R&D tax credits (rather than broader accounting or tax advisory services) as a core differentiator. Its stated advantages to clients include:
- Specialist Focus – the firm exclusively handles R&D tax credit matters, which it argues leads to more accurate and maximised claims.
- Risk Management – by managing the process end-to-end, including HMRC communication, it claims to lower the risk for clients.
- Sector-Specific Technical Knowledge – its consultants are described as having deep expertise in technical domains relevant to R&D.
- Time Savings – by handling HMRC correspondence and documentation, the firm allows clients to focus on their core business.
Compliance and Eligibility
The company’s process aligns with the UK government’s HMRC-defined criteria for R&D tax relief. To qualify for R&D tax credits, a project must seek an advance in science or technology by resolving scientific or technological uncertainty. RD Tax Credits UK Ltd helps businesses document these points according to HMRC’s standards.
