Our A-Z Guide to Research and Development Tax Relief

Play a small part in a big picture

Over the last couple of years we have supported three charities and organisations within the East Sussex area and feel that with your help, we could help give them the funding that they need.

You can help us achieve this by donating just 1% of your Research and Development Tax Relief claim to help others.  Below is some information on the charities that we are proud to support.

Children’s Respite Trust

We supported Children’s Respite Trust Charity Golf Day in 2017 and heard about their amazing work and the exciting projects they have and wanted to see if we could support them further.

Our Managing Director, Simon Bulteel, spent two weeks of his summer holiday during his last two years at School volunteering at a Summer Play Camp for Children with Special Needs. Despite this being over 25 years ago, Simon found this experience incredibly rewarding and understands from first-hand experience how much the parents and carers can benefit from just those 6-8 hours of respite care. Children’s’ Respite Trust goes much further than this in providing care for Children and is a charity that we are incredibly proud to support.

Embrace East Sussex

We supported Embrace’s St. Patrick’s Day 2016 event last year and since then, have been looking for another opportunity to support them in a more structured way.

Simon met Becky Whippy who runs Embrace shortly after she set up the charity. Embrace is a charity that provides incredible support for special needs and disabled children through clubs, outreach and advocacy. Becky is a truly committed individual and works with families across East Sussex.

Tech Resort

We have been supporting Tech Resort through their sponsor a chair scheme.

As a Community Interest Company Tech Resort help young people, adult learners, digital and tech businesses, and educators develop digital skills. Tech Resort give local young people aged 8-18 the oppourtunity to get hands on experience with the latest coding and making kits. They have already identified and supported a number of individuals in setting up their own businesses. They also work with local digital and tech businesses to remove barriers to growth – such as finding skilled workers, identifying funding opportunities and securing new premises. We want to diversify the town’s economy away from retail and tourism and raise the average wage.

How to donate

 It’s easy to donate, we can send you a link that will invite you to donate 1% of your R&D tax relief saving to selected charities.

We will donate 1% of all of our fees raised from R&D Tax Relief Claims for all of our clients across the country. We will then match the percentage of each one of your donations up to a further 1% of our fee.

For clients further afield, who feel there are more local causes they would like to support, please let us know the percentage of your Tax Saving you have donated.

Just 1% of your R&D Tax Relief claim can go a long way in helping others in need. Contact us today on 01424  225345 for more information.

The post Can you take on our 1% Challenge? appeared first on Cooden Tax Consulting.

We think it could be stand A170 for the most unusual, fascinating and record breaking attraction … so make sure you visit during 11 and 12 May at the London Excel. (OK, hands up, we’ll admit that stand A170 is our Cooden Tax Consulting stand, but it’s not us that is the attraction!)

We are delighted to announce that we will have the British record holding, electric drag-racing motorbike on our stand for you to admire! Its record is 96.53mph.

You could WIN 2 VIP tickets to see the British

Fast Charge Team prepare for their world record!

(You only have to drop in your business card – it couldn’t be easier to be in with a chance to win.)

Yes, world record! A longer, 4.5 metre, radically new prototype British electric bike (it is too big to go on our stand!) is soon to be in a drag race looking to steal the current World Record from an American Bike!

Quiz the Innovator

If you visit us on stand A170 at Accountex on Thursday 12 May you will also have a chance to quiz Phil Edwards, who owns Weald Technology, the company that has developed both these bikes (www.weald-tech.co.uk).

Phil said “we love engineering and exploring innovation in science and technology.  We come from a world of process control and lean manufacturing, so we want to provide smart solutions that are reliable and repeatable. We are keen to push the boundaries of sustainable electric vehicle technology and inspire children.”

Phil is part of the Fast Charge project (www.fast-charge.org) that is putting the world record breaking team together. The aim is a quarter of a mile in 6 seconds, reaching 200 miles per hour with one thousand horsepower and zero emissions! This is a Great British project to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. Phil and the team are always on the look out for sponsors and have the potential to offer some great deals, if you are interested you can find out more on the website.

Why the Electric Bike?

We work with innovative companies, so we wanted something ground-breaking and interesting on our stand to entertain you all. We were lucky enough to find something fantastic close to our base in East Sussex.

We help science and technology businesses, like Weald Technology, who are also one of our newer clients, to save thousands with Research and Development Tax Relief. We do this by working with Directors of innovative companies directly, or via referrals and white label services for Accountants, Solicitors and Patent Attorneys.

The good news is that it’s not just creative, technological and manufacturing companies that are eligible for R&D tax relief. We have helped brewing, engineering and insurance companies too. They’ve saved between £3k and £300k. Not to be sniffed at!

We have special discounts for our services for Accountex visitors too… So whether you love bikes, innovation or saving money, you’ll be glad you visited Stand A170.

We can’t wait to see you there!

It’s a huge show that is well worth a visit with 200 exhibitors, keynote speakers and workshops in 13 theatres and 169 CPD certified seminars! If you register now you can get free tickets.

We’ll be there on stand A170… with some special Accountex offers for R&D Tax Relief services for all serious forward-thinking accountants, professional advisors and business Directors.

PLUS we have a very special display, visitor and prize draw on our stand too. (Clue: sporting British Record Holder!). More will be revealed soon!

Accountex Special Deals

There is a deal specifically for professional advisors (Accountants, Solicitors and Patent Attorneys) and another for businesses using our services directly.

Referrals from Professional Advisors 

If you are a professional advisory firm you can refer clients to us or we can conduct our work as a white label service for you. Here’s the deal:

30% referral fee (or 70% white label fee) for any new referrer signing up before 12 June 2016, for each client referred to us before 31 December 2016 and for that client’s first R&D Tax Relief Claim.

Subsequent referrals will be at our standard 20% fee.

New direct business clients

Many creative, technological and manufacturing companies are eligible. But we have also helped firms in the Brewing, Engineering and Insurance sectors to claim this significant tax relief. Recent claims range from £3k to over £300k.

18% of tax savings “no claim, no fee” for any new client signing up before 12 June 2016. Standard fees are 25% for first £50k of tax savings and 20% on anything over £50k.

Here’s what a couple of our SME clients said:

“We saved £35k for activities we had not realised were eligible for R&D tax relief.”

Stephen Bull – Finance Director, Barth-Haas UK Ltd (Hops and Brewing Industry)

“Simon understood our complex business quickly and saved us £150k in tax.”

Patricia Tomkins – Director, Photonic Science Limited (High Tech Manufacturer)

So why not visit us to discuss what R&D tax relief savings could be available on a no claim, no fee basis? It seems like a no-brainer if you or your clients are engaged in R&D doesn’t it? Our help has saved companies between £3k and £300k. You can read more reasons why we might be the right choice for your partner for R&D tax relief in this first blog about Accountex.

Just think….. who will be THE most talked about accountant (for all the right reasons) if you help your clients keep this cash in their business?!

We look forward to seeing you at Accountex on 11 and 12 May.
