Case Study: RfM Transform and a leading Green Technology Company

Our client is a Lancashire business at the forefront of green heating technology, pioneering innovative solutions that combine local electricity generation with renewable heat. They needed expert guidance to navigate the complexities of R&D tax credits and ensure they could fully benefit from their innovative projects. Their goal was to secure funding in the form of a tax credit to support ongoing advancements.

The Business+Booster Solution

Zach and the R&D team at RfM Transform collaborated closely with the client. They meticulously identified qualifying activities and expenditures related to the advanced renewable heat systems. HMRC stipulates that claims must clearly demonstrate innovation, technological advancement, and the resolution of scientific or technological uncertainties in order to qualify for a tax credit. Additionally, claims should be supported by detailed documentation of the R&D activities and costs involved. This comprehensive approach ensured an accurate and maximised claim submission.

Best Practices for R&D Tax Credit Claims

HMRC requires precise documentation and clear evidence of your R&D activities. They have steadily got more stringent with their guidelines and so to ensure your claim is approved we will work with you to:

  • Document R&D Activities: Maintain thorough documentation of the research process, challenges faced, and technological advancements achieved.
  • Regular Reviews: Conduct regular reviews to ensure all relevant activities and expenses are captured accurately.
  • Professional Guidance: Seek expert advice to navigate the complexities of the claim process and avoid common pitfalls.
  • Track Expenses Meticulously: Keep detailed records of all costs related to R&D activities, including staff time, materials, and any subcontracted work.
