The UK’s EEF has signed a new partnership deal with R&D tax relief specialist, Jumpstart, as part of its Advantages programme.

The move will see Jumpstart providing expert advice to EEF members to ensure they secure their full entitlement of R&D tax relief, as well as guidance to those companies seeking to apply for the credit for the first time.

Jumpstart will be named as an official EEF Advantages partner. EEF members will also receive a generous discount on Jumpstart fees.

Says EEF membership engagement director Charles Garfit: “Our role is to support UK manufacturers and help them realise their growth ambitions in an ever more competitive environment. Investing in R&D is vital to attempts by manufacturers to do just that by increasing their innovation performance and productivity.

“This partnership will be critical in helping companies navigate the complexities of the process of applying for the R&D Credit. It will ensure that those companies already benefiting can maximise their entitlement, as well as enable those encountering the process for the first time to achieve a smooth route through it.”

Adds Jumpstart managing director Scott Henderson:“Jumpstart is delighted to be partnering with EEF. Building on our significant strength in the engineering & manufacturing sectors, we welcome this opportunity to contribute to the developing dialogue on innovation and we look forward to supporting both large and small companies submit robust claims for tax relief.”
