Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Gwynedd Businesses
Q: How can I ensure my R&D Tax claim is robust for my Gwynedd engineering firm?
A: The key is technical substantiation. We work closely with your technical teams in Gwynedd to clearly articulate the technological uncertainties and advancements in your projects, which is the foundation of a successful, HMRC-compliant R&D claim.
Q: Is the Patent Box scheme relevant to my manufacturing company in Bangor?
A: Absolutely. If your products incorporate patented technology, or if you are in the process of patenting a core innovation, the Patent Box scheme can dramatically reduce your Corporation Tax liability on the profits derived from that IP to just 10%.
Q: We are raising capital in Gwynedd. Can you help with EIS/SEIS?
A: Yes. We specialise in structuring growth capital raises (£100k-£12m) to ensure maximum tax efficiency for both the company and the investors, a critical factor for attracting investment into Gwynedd-based scale-ups.
