LinkStep has seen rapid growth since incorporation in 2012, with the client-base doubling year on year, and as such has continued to expand.

Qualifying development rarely ends with one project deliverable. A significant amount of time is often spent on improving existing products, processes materials or services - and this time can be included in an R&D tax claim.
IBM's outlook for research and development (R&D) has since moved on to prove that this statement was on shaky ground. One fact is certain - IBM would never have evolved to be the company it is now without investing in the development of both new and existing technologies.
R&D Tax Relief, R&D Tax Credits, and the new R&D Expenditure Credit schemes are collectively the largest Government mechanism designed to deliver much-needed cash to industry, which is where LinkStep R&D Tax Services can help.
LinkStep is a team of R&D tax experts, originating from both technology and tax backgrounds. We solely focus on the compilation and processing of R&D tax claims for both the SME and large company market.
For small to medium sized companies, even if loss-making, an R&D claim has the potential to generate a net cash benefit of over 30% of the qualifying expenditure. This is delivered via a reduction of Corporation Tax liabilities or R&D Tax Credits (cash) for loss-making companies.
