Areas of Practice


Manufacturing

 

Today’s manufacturing firms cannot compete in the global market without continually investing in projects to improve their productivity. The investment deserves support through the R&D tax program and we can help you access it.

Examples of projects that we have helped clients successfully claim include:

  • inventing new products and their associated manufacturing processes

  • automating previously manual processes

  • improving the productivity of manufacturing lines


Software

 

Software projects are unique in that they attract extra attention from the regulators as to their eligibility for the R&D tax program. We have successfully helped many clients access the program by describing the eligible activities in a way that demonstrates why they are eligible.

Whether your project involves developing a new program, or integrating several disparate systems, we can help you determine if the investment that you’ve made is eligible for the R&D tax incentive.


Pharmaceutical

 

Whilst developing new drug therapies is likely to qualify, there are unique aspects to R&D tax claims associated with them that we can help you with. For example you may need to conduct a significant portion of your research in another country and we specialise in helping our pharmaceutical clients successfully navigate the Application for Advanced and Overseas Finding Certificate process to ensure that your Certificate is issued as quickly as possible, allowing you to factor the cash flow into your project’s budget.


New inventions

 

Your new invention may not be ready to manufacture just yet, however the investment that you’ve made may qualify for the R&D tax program to provide you with a cash refund of up to 43.5% of your investment.


Public Companies

 

Your shareholders do not like surprises and the R&D tax claim can play a significant part in this. We work with you to ensure that not only is your claim eligible and will stand up to review, but that the value of the benefit can be forecast and recognised in your periodic accounts.

Our team based approach to managing your claim means that it is progressed throughout the year and you know how much the claim is worth to you. This avoids unpleasant surprises in that the claim can be accrued for periodically.


Start-ups

 

Cash flow is important to all businesses, however for start-ups it is critical. Pre-revenue companies can access the refundable R&D tax credit, which can provide up to 43.5% of the investment for the year as a cash refund.

This approach allows you to either borrow less, or more importantly, avoid diluting your share holding as you are forced to bring in more investment to complete the project.


The information above highlights some of the issues specific to those industries in accessing the R&D Tax Incentive. Any business doing research and development can qualify for the program.

As we specialise in R&D Tax Incentive claims, we can confidently help your business access the program regardless of the industry that you operate in.
