"Steedman Accountants is a growing firm specialising in SMEs and innovative sectors like cryptocurrency and R&D tax relief."
R&D tax resources & support for accountants
The merged R&D scheme represents the biggest shift in R&D tax relief for years. New rules, tighter boundaries for overseas and subcontractor costs, stricter definitions, and new considerations for ERIS and NI ERIS, mean accountants must work more carefully than ever.
For firms new to R&D: There’s a substantial knowledge gap to bridge. Understanding the merged RDEC rules, transitional periods, overseas restrictions, subcontractor rules, and ERIS eligibility is essential before supporting clients.
For firms already delivering claims: The old SME and RDEC processes no longer map neatly onto the new regime. Advisers must adjust their assessments, tighten their documentation, and update long-established workflows to ensure claims remain compliant.
And client need hasn’t gone away. Companies are still innovating. They still expect their accountant to guide them. The question is not whether help is needed, but whether your firm has a reliable, compliant repeatable process to deliver that help effectively.
