Are You Looking For R&D Tax Advisors In Dublin?

Irish businesses wishing to claim research and development (R&D) Tax Credits are often concerned with how best to choose an R&D tax specialist. Many decide to work with a firm in Dublin or one that’s more local, so that they can easily drop in and speak to their advisor if they need to.

Here we outline the importance of collaborating with R&D tax specialists like us, so you can rest assured your claim is in a position to claim your maximum return.

Does my company qualify for R&D Tax Credits - and how do I know?

Has your company completed any innovative work recently that attempted to advance technology or science? Did it involve taking on some risk, regardless of whether or not the work was successful? Then you might well find it qualifies for R&D Tax Credits.

R&D Tax Credits are a government incentive backed and administered by the Revenue as a Corporation Tax relief. It’s designed to encourage growth and investment in R&D by Irish companies. The relief is typically available for R&D projects carried out across a broad spectrum of science and technology areas. This is often things like food and drink production, software development, engineering, pharmaceuticals and financial services for example.

The credit works by offering back up to 25% of your expenditure on R&D expenditure, either as a reduction in your Corporation Tax or as a one-off cash payment. Crucially, it’s also offered on top of the 12.5% Corporation Tax deduction at the standard rate. Pretty generous we think!

We’re as well as - not instead of - your usual business accountant

When you head out for your weekly shopping, you’ll likely go to a supermarket where everything can be bought in one place. Company accountants are similar, in that all tax affairs are dealt with by the same firm providing a large range of services. This is fine for general accounting, but R&D tax relief is much more niche. It requires up-to-date knowledge and professional experience, which is where our specific services are so useful.

Don’t think of R&D Tax Credit specialists as an alternative to your usual business accountant though - think of us as extra. We will work alongside them on your R&D Tax Credit claim, and offer support to give you the best chance of success. Not only will this maximise the amount you could claim, but it will drastically reduce the chances of a costly (and stressful) Revenue enquiry. Yes it might appear to be cheaper to just use your normal accountant, but it’s very easy to claim less than you’re entitled to, potentially costing you big. R&D tax relief specialists in Ireland, like us at Myriad Associates, have an excellent working relationship with the Revenue, meaning claims are dealt with more swiftly. Plus, if the Revenue does pose any enquiries about your claim, R&D tax advisers can help you answer the questions and offer their services on a success-only basis. General accountants are not likely to be able to provide the same type of support.
