Thanks Ben, Best Accounting Company in the UK. Thanks Adrian, Jayne, Karen, Amanda.
We moved to MGRW after finding that our previous accountants were stuck in outdated practices that did not suit a modern business. From the outset, MGRW impressed us with their speed and professionalism, taking us on quickly and delivering exactly what we needed without delay. Adrian has been exceptional, making sure all our tax matters are fully in hand and offering invaluable support throughout. Tina has been a rock, reliable, calm and consistently helpful when we have needed it most. The rest of the team are always quick to assist and clearly committed to great service. I cannot recommend MGRW highly enough. They have been a real asset to our business.

What is R&D Tax Relief?
R&D tax relief is designed to support UK companies investing in research, development and innovation. If your business is developing new products, processes or technology (or significantly improving existing ones) you may be able to claim tax relief on qualifying R&D costs.
Depending on your circumstances, R&D tax relief can help reduce your Corporation Tax liability or provide valuable financial support, freeing up resources to reinvest in your business.
Could Your Business Qualify for R&D Tax Relief?
R&D isn’t limited to laboratories or dedicated research teams. Businesses in manufacturing, engineering, technology and design often undertake qualifying activities, but companies across many other sectors could also be eligible. If you’re developing new products, improving processes or overcoming technical challenges, you may already be carrying out qualifying R&D.
Qualifying R&D activities could include:
- Developing or significantly improving products or processes
- Creating new software or technology
- Testing prototypes and new materials
- Overcoming technical or technological challenges
- Improving manufacturing or production methods
Patent Box Relief
If your organisation develops patented products or processes, Patent Box relief could provide additional tax savings. The Patent Box relief scheme allows qualifying companies to apply a reduced rate of Corporation Tax to profits generated from eligible patented inventions.
MGRW+ can help determine whether your business qualifies for Patent Box relief, identify the relevant income and associated costs, and ensure the relief is calculated and claimed correctly.
