Greenock r&d tax credits FAQs
Does my work actually qualify as R&D?
The test is whether you sought an advance in science or technology by resolving uncertainty a competent professional couldn't readily solve. Routine development doesn't qualify; genuine technical problem-solving often does. Our free eligibility review gives you a straight answer before you spend anything.
How much is a claim worth?
Under the merged scheme, broadly a 20% expenditure credit on qualifying spend — staff costs, subcontractors, software, consumables. A company with £100,000 of qualifying spend sees a benefit in the region of £15,000–£16,000 after tax.
What if HMRC opens an enquiry?
Enquiry rates have risen sharply, which is why our narratives are written to answer HMRC's questions before they're asked. If an enquiry does open, we respond on your behalf — including for claims other advisers prepared.
Do I need to visit an office in Greenock?
No — there's nothing to visit and nothing to print. We're an online firm: records go through our secure portal or WhatsApp, and everything is filed electronically. It works the same whether you're in Greenock or anywhere else in Scotland.
I searched "r&d claim near me" — is this service really local to Greenock?
Greenock is fully covered, yes. The work is done online, which in practice means more local than an office: same-day replies instead of appointment slots, and the same published fixed fee whether you're in Greenock town centre or the edge of Scotland. If you'd rather talk it through first, WhatsApp us — a real person answers.
Who will actually handle my r&d claim?
Bohzo Accountants — a trading name of Bohzo Ltd, a registered UK company (No. 15031604). You get a named contact, a fixed fee in writing, and nothing is filed until you've reviewed and approved it.
How do your fixed fees work?
You tell us your situation, we quote one fixed price in writing before any work starts, and that price never changes mid-job. If your case is unusually complex we'll say so up front and agree a different fixed price — but the fee is always agreed before we begin, never after.
Tax notes our Greenock clients ask about most
The tax-free dividend allowance is down to £500, so almost any director taking dividends now pays some dividend tax — and needs a Self Assessment return to report it. The classic small-salary-plus-dividends strategy still works; it just needs actual planning rather than folklore.
First-year traders around Greenock tend to make the same three mistakes: registering late, mixing business and personal spending in one account, and saving nothing for the first tax bill. All three are avoidable in an afternoon of setup.
Compare accountants on the things that bite later: is the fee fixed and written down, what exactly is included, who does the work, how fast do they answer in January. Proximity to Greenock stopped being the differentiator the day filings went electronic.
Auto-enrolment applies from the first eligible employee: assess, enrol, contribute, declare. The Pensions Regulator does check, and the fines for ignoring it are out of proportion to how simple compliance actually is.
Every year a wave of returns gets filed in the final days of January. It works, but it's the most expensive way to do it: no time to check for missed reliefs, and any tax due lands as one surprise. Sending your records early — even unsorted — is the single best gift you can give your January self.
Some businesses register for VAT before they must — reclaiming input VAT can be worth it if your customers are VAT-registered themselves. Others should stay below deliberately. It's a real decision with real numbers, not a formality.
The trading allowance means up to £1,000 of gross side income per year can be tax-free with no return needed. Above that, registration and reporting kick in — and platforms now report seller data to HMRC, so "under the radar" isn't a strategy any more.
Compliance checks are usually specific: one return, one figure, one question. Answered promptly and with evidence, most close quickly. The expensive enquiries are the ones that started as unanswered letters.
General guidance, not personal advice — thresholds and dates change. For advice on your own position in Greenock, message us and we'll answer against your actual numbers.
