“The R&D tax credit has been a real boost for our cash flow. It allows us to reinvest in our operations, in our R&D and in our team.”
“We’re actively addressing major industry challenges like saprolegnia; a harmful fungus affecting both wild and farmed salmon. In partnership with other industry partners, we’re exploring new technologies and treatments to reduce losses.
On the genetic side, we focus on selecting the best males and females suited to marine challenges, which helps improve animal welfare and boost financial performance for our clients.”
“We’ve worked with Leyton since 2017, they have assisted us in compiling all the data together and creating a good report and submission for our tax credit claim every year.
Every year, we begin with a discussion to review the R&D projects we’ve carried out, their results, and outcomes. Together, we categorise these into different project groups.
We then send this information to Jessica at Leyton, who prepares a technical report. Meanwhile, we also compile all the costs associated with the project. A couple of weeks later, we receive a full report ready for submission to our tax accountant and we get the tax credits claim.
Leyton has been involved since day one and quickly understood our business. That familiarity has made the process smooth and efficient year after year. Their R&D consultants are excellent at identifying qualifying activities and guiding us through each claim.”
“Absolutely. I’d recommend Leyton to anyone involved in research, running trials, or developing innovations, especially if you want to avoid the complexity and admin of the tax credit process. Leyton takes care of it all.”
Our in-house team of highly experienced scientists, engineers, tax consultants and attorneys would love to answer all your questions and help you make the most out of your R&D efforts.
