However the downside is that the large company scheme was to change downwards from 30% to an unknown figure. The budget statements will reveal how true they are to their word. No matter what it ends up as, it is advisable to get your claim in early especially with legislation currently allowing you to resubmit claims for up to two previous years. This is a big advantage. Even if you have been claiming you can still open up your file and resubmit for a higher amount. It should be noted that most companies think this tax advantage is the domain of technology companies only. We have over 1100 successful claims and many are for companies such as bakeries and other non obvious sectors. If you are in doubt we provide a free no obligation assessment of your eligibility.
