A very happy customer

The process was very simple and we were, at all times, covered by an excellent support team. I am delighted at the service that we received and the speed at which we were able to get our R&D claim submitted.

Quick and painless with a friendly team

EmpowerRD have been nothing but helpful processing our claims over the last couple of years. We're a small team and we went through the process for the first time with EmpowerRD. The platform is easy to use and the team are extremely quick at replying to enquiries and always happy to jump on the phone if extra help is needed. Their prices are also the best on the market.

Pretty shocking service here

Pretty shocking service here. Received a request for AML verification when it had already been provided several times. The request even came within 6 months from the last, and after advising them of this and stating it wasn't acceptable to waste people's time this way, we received a termination.

Reply from EmpowerRD

We regret that you were not able to experience our service on this occasion. Nevertheless, we take our commitment to carry out AML checks very seriously, and as our policy couldn't be accommodated in this instance, we regrettably couldn't provide our service. It is a shame you did not have a chance to experience how we support our clients. We sincerely hope that you are able to find a provider you can work with.

Making the complex simple and outcome-focussed.

The team at EmpowerRD have made something complex and bureaucratic into a straightforward and valuable outcome for our business. From the start, we have been guided on how to maximise efficiency and effectiveness of our R&D Tax Claims and we now have money in the bank thanks to EmpowerRD.

R&D Tax Relief is hard to do. EmpowerRD makes it a little bit easier.

Don't let anybody be under any apprehension that claiming R&D Tax Relief is 'easy'. It's not. It's really quite painful. Fortunately, empowerRD knows what it's doing and will guide you through the labyrinthine process.

Proof is in the pudding: R&D Tax Relief was received without question from HMRC.

If you speak to other Tax Relief consultants, they talk scary fees as a % of relief (25-30%). EmpowerRD is very reasonable in comparison.

2nd year in a row using EmpowerRD and…

2nd year in a row using EmpowerRD and even easier this time around. I have no hesitation in recommending EmpowerRD over old fashion R&D tax specialists who can charge anywhere between 10% - 30% commission.

Second time using the EmpowerRD team, highly recommend

Second time using EmpowerRD for our R&D claim, as always, they were responsive, easy to work with and always there to help. The online platform was a lot quicker second time round as a lot of the info was stored, so it speeds the process up. Highly recommend using these guys as they are very competitive with excellent quality of work.

R&D Tax Credit

R&D Tax Credit Application

EmpowerRD's portal was extremely helpful in getting our application to HMRC. It gave clear focus and insight on what was required and the support from their agent was both prompt and professional.

Incredible service

Thanks to Bach and Hari for your excellent service. The claim was put together within a week and we're looking to claim back more than originally anticipated.
