What We Did
Bow Tie contacted us to enquire whether their activities would qualify for R&D Tax Relief. After initial discussions, we identified that – because their activities and designs were so unique to those usually seen and implemented during the building and refurbishment of residential properties – there were a number of areas that would be classed as qualifying activities.
When undertaking the qualifying R&D activities, the company had incurred qualifying costs such as:
a) Consumable items used up during the development process and any items scrapped and rendered useless after testing;
b) Staff and subcontractor costs, due to the testing required to ensure the new designs are successful.
We conducted our investigation to look at how we could maximise the qualifying expenditure for Bow Tie and completed a full cost analysis. As a result of our accompanying report, the average benefit against the corporation tax liability for the company totals £12k per annum.

What the Client Said…
“We contacted Cowgills after reading an article on their website about R&D Tax Relief in the Construction Sector. We conduct innovative activities across several areas of our business, so we were interested in finding out if any of those qualified.
Cowgills were able to save an average of £12k a year and we were able to claim R&D Tax Relief on the two previous years. If you are unsure whether you qualify, I would highly recommend that you get in touch with them.”
