He is an expert in identifying Research & Development (R&D) work which qualifies for Corporation Tax relief under the government scheme introduced in 2000 to encourage scientific and technological innovation.

Gary is committed to helping companies grow and realise their potential, and ensuring they are fully rewarded for innovation through Corporation Tax reductions and refunds, which are often significant. He believes the best approach is a thorough consideration of Intellectual Property (IP) combined
