R&D Tax Credits

Claim with our climate tech tax specialists

If you’re an innovative climate tech business, you can claim back money invested in R&D. Our in-house R&D tax consultants specialise in preparing R&D tax claims for climate tech companies.

We supported RideTandem with their R&D tax credits claim.

“The R&D process was made really easy by the team at SV - they have great knowledge of the scheme and, being in the climate-tech space, they understood the pain points of a mission-driven tech startup and were flexible with their working approach and process.”

Tatseng Chiam, Co-Founder and COO at RideTandem
