Shorts’ Radius Service
Shorts’ Radius service is designed to ensure that businesses claim their full entitlement to Government backed tax reliefs for innovation. They have a 100% success record with applications submitted – testament to their unrivalled expertise, which has saved their clients millions of pounds in tax. They specialise in helping digital businesses claim Research & Development (R&D) and Patent Box Tax Reliefs, specifically aimed at providing companies with tax incentives to innovate. Many digital businesses are not claiming or are under-claiming these reliefs and are therefore paying too much tax.
R&D Tax Reliefs give tax savings of around £25 for every £100 spent on innovation by profitable companies as well as cash payments for those making losses. Patent Box Tax Relief allows profits arising from patented items to be taxed at an effective corporate tax rate of only 10%. Our Group members have successfully saved millions of pounds of tax for local businesses by preparing hundreds of claims for these tax reliefs; savings which are often reinvested in jobs and growth. Tax reliefs for innovation present an unmissable opportunity for many businesses. The Government wants to see more claims being made and Shorts are perfectly placed to help.
Shorts have recently developed a dedicated R&D hub especially for the Sheffield Digital community.
