Many architecture firms undertake qualifying R&D activity on a daily basis but fail to take advantage of R&D Tax Relief.
Automotive & Logistics Industry Tax Relief
Opportunity for R&D tax relief in the automotive and logistics sectors has increased thanks to significant technological changes over the last few years.
The technical textiles sector has seen some of Britain’s most interesting innovations in the international arena and it is extremely important for it to be encouraged and rewarded through R&D tax incentives.
Research and development is a key area for electronics companies. However, due to the nature of the sector, finding the eligibility for R&D tax incentives essential for funding future projects can be ambiguous. ABGI UK has helped secure substantial sums of R&D tax credit claims for many electronics clients.
We help hundreds of engineering and machining companies find the right innovation funding and incentive solution for their business.
Many in the farming and agriculture industry unknowingly engage in R&D activities on a daily basis that could qualify for a significant tax credit.
ABGI UK works with a host of biotechnology, life science, scientific services and consultancy companies, recovering substantial sums that can be used to fund future research and development projects.
ABGI-UK helps manufacturing companies navigate the complexities of applying for innovation funding, ensuring that businesses already benefitting maximise their entitlement, as well as enabling those encountering the process for the first time to achieve a smooth route through it.
If you are a company where you have people and costs associated with project activities aimed at advancing what you do, then you could be eligible for funding in the form of grants, tax incentives or commercial funding.
Pharmaceutical and Chemical companies are some of the traditional R&D companies, advancing science and technology on a regular basis. Did you realise that those issues you’re dealing with in the pilot plant relating to raw material variability, or unexpected results when scaling up formulations, could all be eligible for R&D tax incentives and innovation funding?
Software and IT companies are engaged in constant efforts to improve their products. In order to drive business growth and meet the expectations of increasingly demanding customers they must take risks, experiment and innovate or face inevitable stagnation in a brutally competitive industry. In other words, they must carry out R&D. Many companies are benefiting from R&D tax relief on their software development expenses.
Waste management is an area of continuing innovation, particularly in response to an overall drive toward resource efficiency, and likely to be eligible for significant funding to accelerate future innovation and business growth.
