Inky Blackness

Recommeded by to us by a fellow client, East End Prints, Inky Blackness founder, Ian Tregoning, dismissed making a claim at first. Ian is also the creative mind behind the company and so had his hands full running the business and the assumption, which was reinforced by their accountant, was that a claim for R&D tax relief would be timely, costly and complicated. 

Our R&D tax consultant, Thorfinn Armstrong, was personally strongly recommended Ian’s colleague and so after much deliberating Ian made the call. Thorfinn was able to instantly reassure the Inky Blackness team that collaborating with Easy R&D meant that we would do the heavy-lifting, freeing Ian up to drive his business forward. 

The first step taken by Thorfinn was a deep dive into all of the innovation projects, started, unfinished, failed and completed. Only by working to understand the intricacies of Inky Blackness’s business model could Thorfinn uncover the eligible expenditure. This thoroughness led them to a successful claim and gave Ian the confidence to entrust Easy R&D with all future claims for tax relief. 

• Working with an R&D tax specialist makes all the difference. Expert tax advisors plus experienced technical writers means all of HMRC’s requirements are covered.
  
• The scope of what HMRC defines as R&D is broad and ever-changing. Our specialist team has the experience and continuous training that allows them to uncover all eligible expenditure, something that your accountant or a general tax advisor may not be able to do so easily.
  
• R&D that was not successful is still eligible to claim against. As is the nature of most R&D, it may take several before finding a viable solution.

We invite you to join us for a free exploratory call to find out whether your business may be eligible to make a very substantial claim for this year and previous financial periods
