R&D Tax Credits – Client Success Story

Industry Sector: Textiles

R&D Tax Credits deliver an unexpected material gain for a client in the Textiles sector.

Client Profile: £2.9m turnover & 49 employees

Background: A well established dye house who was unaware they could claim R&D Tax Credits for their development efforts. Following on from an introduction from one of our existing clients, Innovation Tax guided the company through the process.

R&D Tax Credit received:  £61,000
Client Feedback:

“Throughout the claim process, we found the service that we received from Innovation Tax to be of an excellent standard, especially when dealing with our appointed analyst, who was extremely helpful, thorough and very knowledgeable. We look forward to arranging to meet with Innovation Tax again soon to process our next R&D Tax relief claim. We will most definitely recommend Innovation Tax to others and we are already in the process of referring new clients to Innovation Tax, where we believe R&D is taking place.”
