What was the challenge?
Signbox had conducted an R&D Tax Claim before but were unsure about the extent to which activity could be qualified and the process to accurately identify and justify this.
Signbox had originally engaged Kene to claim R&D Tax relief on a specific R&D project. What Signbox hadn’t realised until working with Kene was that there was R&D occurring within their commercial signage projects that they hadn’t yet identified or claimed against.
Identifying the R&D
We pride ourselves on guiding clients painlessly on the R&D claims process.
From the onset during the initial interaction, Kene provided greater clarity and reassurance on the overall process by efficiently translating the complex legislation and setting out a rapid and thorough plan.
The support to our clients is bespoke depending on their needs or industry. We use technology to streamline the process where possible.
“Kene issued very helpful tools, such as the Sway tutorials and the Cost Collection Sheet, that enabled us to accurately assess potential projects for the scheme. In addition, we felt and saw evidence of the Kene methodology maximising claim value for minimal risks: every qualifying activity was justified with evidence. The Kene 's team quickly gained a deep understanding of Signbox and its operations, which was reflected in the comprehensive technical report.”
The result
We were pleased to be able to produce a robust report for Signbox, leading to a robust and accurate R&D claim.
“As the tax benefit came through, we have experienced first-hand the benefit of the positive experience in engaging with Kene for our claim, and we look forward to conducting more claims with them in the future.”
