About R&D Tax Credit Specialists

R&D Tax Credit Specialists is an independent UK introduction service that matches companies with vetted R&D tax specialists, free of charge. We do not prepare claims or give tax advice. We help you find a specialist who fits your sector, and we publish plain English guides so you can judge any adviser for yourself.

Why does this service exist?

This service exists because choosing an R&D tax adviser is hard from the outside. The market includes excellent specialists and firms that have filed weak claims, and HMRC's tighter compliance since 2023 means a poor claim can cost a company far more than it gained. Most businesses only buy this service once a year, so they have little to compare against.

What do we do?

  • Ask a few questions about your company, sector and R&D spend
  • Flag obvious issues such as a claim notification deadline
  • Introduce you to up to 3 panel firms that fit, only with your consent
  • Publish guides, checked against HMRC sources, so you can ask firms the right questions

What do we not do?

  • Prepare, submit or sign R&D claims
  • Give tax advice or tell you how much you will receive
  • Guarantee any outcome with HMRC
  • Sell your details to anyone outside our panel

How are we paid?

Our matching service is free for businesses. Specialist firms on our panel pay us a fee when we introduce a business to them. That fee does not change the price a firm quotes you, and you are never obliged to appoint anyone we introduce.

Who is behind the service?

R&D Tax Credit Specialists is operated as an unincorporated UK business under that trading name. You can reach us through our enquiry form or by email at info@rdtaxcreditspecialists.co.uk. Our privacy policy explains how we handle data, and our complaints procedure explains what to do if something goes wrong.
