Tax Incentives and Reliefs

Over the years, the government and HMRC have introduced numerous tax incentives and reliefs to support businesses engaged in creative or innovative work within the fields of science and technology, aiming to foster invention and innovation.

Regrettably, many of these businesses are unaware of the substantial financial benefits they could be entitled to. Having Sigma on your side will enable you to maximize these benefits, with a qualified accountant guiding you through the available incentives and assisting with the application process if you qualify.

From claiming Research and Development (R&D) reliefs, optimizing Capital Allowances, and leveraging Patent Box to securing Business Rates Relief and applying for Charitable status, our experts are available to expertly manage your claim and ensure a stress-free process.

We customize our approach for each business, offering tailored insights into available benefits that are not only advantageous but also well-suited for your specific circumstances. This not only has the potential to save you money but can also provide access to funding opportunities to propel your business to the next level through incentivized investment schemes such as EIS, SEIS, SIPs, and EMIs.
