How to claim R&D tax credits with UHY Claiming R&D
tax relief isn’t a one‑size‑fits‑all exercise — and it
shouldn’t be. As R&D specialists, we tailor our proven
methodology to your business, working closely with
your technical team to accurately identify qualifying
activities and costs. One of the first steps is
understanding your deadlines; missing them can
mean losing access to valuable relief
Sector Analysis
The UK R&D tax relief landscape is shifting amid
reform and tighter HMRC scrutiny. Claims fell sharply
in 2023–24, with SME relief down and RDEC claims
rising, signalling a move toward larger claims.
Growing complexity is increasing demand for
specialist advice.

clarity. As trusted consultants, we take a holistic view
of your organisation to strengthen performance.

challenges into opportunities and ambitions into
