R&D Tax Reliefs done properly: Robust claims, prepared and maximised by specialists with minimum disruption to you.
Some firms have tax generalists preparing R&D and Patent Box Tax Relief claims. Our Radius team are all full-time specialists.
Our processes and proactive ethos ensure that we systematically consider every possible way in which claims can be maximised within legislative parameters.
This means that we are uniquely equipped to maximise your claims, often using creative solutions in conjunction with our tax and accounting colleagues.
Being part of Shorts enables us to offer broader, more comprehensive services than other R&D tax relief advisers with a narrower focus.
HMRC has started cracking down heavily on historic and current error strewn R&D tax relief claims.
Some R&D tax relief advisers aren’t suitably qualified to prepare robust claims or they push the boundaries way beyond what is eligible.
Radius claims are prepared by highly qualified and experienced professionals who specialise in R&D and Patent Box Tax Relief claims. We have detailed quality assurance processes to ensure claims are fully optimised and compliant. All claims are reviewed by an ex-HMRC R&D tax inspector before submission. We have never had a claim amended as a result of an HMRC enquiry.
Radius is a division of Shorts Chartered Accountants, a regulated and award-winning firm of accountants with over 130 years of heritage of doing things properly.
This heritage drives our focus and pride in providing technically excellent claims.
Our carefully structured, process driven approach aims to make preparing your company’s claim as easy as possible for you.
Wherever possible, we’ll interview your team and prepare the claim from their answers – they just need to talk to us. Where we do need financial and other information, we’ll try to ask for it all in one go and keep it to a minimum.
This is all intended to avoid your team having to try to interpret rules and explain why activities qualify.
The Radius team includes an ex-HMRC Inspector, who reviews all claims, ensuring they are robust and compliant before submission.

Try our R&D calculatorThe company’s R&D surrounded developing design solutions for new products and systems, as well appreciably improving existing plant, machinery, and associated systems to enhance both their functional and structural performance. Uncertainties faced by the company included ensuring structures are functionally safe, equipped to deal with complex external behaviours, and able to fit within constrained spaces. Qualifying R&D activity included undertaking detailed analysis, computer-aided design and iterative testing throughout the whole development phase.
Innovative high-performance packaging solutions. As part of their R&D projects, the company are continuously developing new products and utilising new manufacturing techniques. Their projects include increasing capability in the sector by successfully using recycled waste materials within their products, and creating affordable and environmentally friendly solutions with enhanced material properties for a range of applications.
Development of products to prevent attacks on APIs. Developing such solution for APIs is difficult due to the level and complexity of traffic created. Working at the forefront of their field, the company faced uncertainties surrounding processing a variety of possible data types, structuring data in a specialised way whilst processing it quickly.
When submitting an R&D Tax Credit claim, a common question asked is how long it takes to receive the benefit. The truth is that how quickly you receive payment will depend on various factors, including the scale and complexity of the claim.
