Successful R & D Tax Credits Claims

32-Point Star: A cash back claim could radically change your year end financial position!

 

Are you claiming cash back or maximising tax relief from your R&D spend?  A windfall of cash could radically change your year end financial position.  Tax Credits and Cash Back options are applicable to companies that are creating new or improved products, developing new processes or duplicating existing products and processes in an appreciably improved way.

It may be a surprise that much of the work you undertake to grow your businesses can qualify for significant tax credits, regardless of the industry you are in.

Frequently, accountants mistakenly conclude that clients do not qualify for tax credits or that it will be a long and arduous claim process but this may not be the case.  We have developed excellent working relationships with relevant specialists and offer a pragmatic and practical format for the claims process.

We'll help you examine your suitability for reclaiming tax, or receiving cash, as soon as possible to avoid losing expenditure from previous years.

To date, Pera have generated over £6 million in Cash Back or Tax Savings for companies who have been resolving technological uncertainty. Whilst the scheme is complex, our approach makes it simple. We can also work on a no win, no fee basis.

Given your work load, will you really be able to commit sufficient time to create a winning tender proposal? Do your team have the tender writing skills?
