Panda Waste  Management            

"When we met Leyton it was clear that they knew our business and understood the areas of R&D we could be undertaking. Their scientific consultants were a great help in identifying the areas that qualified under the Irish R&D Tax Credit scheme. Leyton were professional, efficient and have benefited our organisation greatly. I would recommend Leyton for their in-depth expertise in the R&D tax credit scheme and the professional manner in which they conduct their business."

Harmac Medical Products Ltd

"We at Harmac Medical have found Leyton to be a very professional organisation to work with. Initially, we identified a number of projects internally that we felt would qualify for the R&D Tax Credit and thought about doing the claim ourselves. However, after meeting with Leyton, we realised that the area was much more complex than we originally thought. We decided to employ Leyton to review and prepare our claims. We were impressed by their approach and their expertise in the R&D area, both from a technical and financial point of view. They came on site and reviewed all projects with us, including in depth technical discussions. Due to the robust examination of the projects by Leyton, we are comfortable that we claimed for only qualifying expenditure. Leyton provided us with a detailed technical and financial report backing up our claims. Overall we were very pleased with the service provided and would be happy to recommend them to others."

"One of the main reasons we chose to engage Leyton was because of their technical knowledge. The in-depth discussions they had with our technical team was very impressive. They quickly assessed the development work we had done and advised on its suitability for the credit. I am confident that if our claim is ever challenged, there is sufficient detail in their documentation to support our claim. I look upon Leyton as an insurance policy; Leyton’s knowledge of the R&D process essentially protects the income we receive in credits."

HDS Energy Limited

“At HDS Energy Limited, we design and manufacture Industrial sized boiler installations, and biomass heating systems. We were always aware that much of our activities and related expenditure could potentially qualify for the R&D Tax Credit scheme, however we delayed in claiming under the scheme. This was primarily due to uncertainty surrounding R&D Revenue Audits such as the level of supporting documentation required. Leyton removed such uncertainty, and were instrumental in providing detailed criteria of what was required. Leyton provided us with a clear definition of what is available under the R&D Tax credit scheme, and how to compile such a claim, rather than suggesting a general take on what is allowable - which we have experienced from other professional firms. Leyton subsequently compiled our submission along with a technical report containing reliable supporting documentation which will be invaluable in the event of an audit. I would have no hesitation is recommending Leyton.”

Logitech Ireland

“Logitech was always aware that we should have been in a position to claim under the R&D Tax Credit scheme. However we were not comfortable in doing so for a couple of reasons. Firstly, few other companies were claiming. Secondly, we felt that there was a risk of Revenue investigation and of us having insufficient backup and detail to support our claim.

The advantage of using Leyton is that they deal with all those issues. Leyton performed a thorough and professional report documenting our developments and our entitlements and we submitted claims retrospectively with full confidence. We believe that the R&D Tax Credit scheme is an excellent one and that, with the continued assistance of Leyton, we can benefit from it in future years.”

Alltech Biotechnology

“Leyton exceeded all our expectations - very professional and competent. They provided the solution in a timely manner, were able to cut through the 'red tape' surrounding making a claim and made the experience stress-free for management.

The claim was very important for us, R&D is an essential element in Alltech's success.”

Liam Rooney – Financial Director, 2010
ABS

“Our collaboration with Leyton for the R&D Tax Credit claim was a huge success. Having submitted a protective claim for retrospective years 2004 to 2007, we were struggling with time and expertise to file a valid claim before the deadline. Leyton’s knowledge and expertise helped us to compile a quality technical and financial report both efficiently and effectively. Also, the follow-up assistance offered by them after the remuneration was received, represented a real added-value to us.”

Kathleen Atkinson – Finance Director, 2010
KBS Solutions

“Leyton’ help with the R&D Tax Credit was crucial for us. Their wealth of experience and knowledge made the entire claiming process easier. Thanks to their unique approach, we quickly saw the monetary benefit. The benefit for me using Leyton was time - we had so many projects to get through that we would not have optimised our claim. Using Leyton, we didn’t have to worry about that.”

Jon Corbin – Managing Director, 2009
AXA Insurance Limited

“In our sector, it was important for us to be able to identify qualifying R&D expenditure. The availability of a 25% credit also helps to reduce costs within the company. The consultants at Leyton had an excellent understanding of the legislation and helped us to determine our qualifying expenditures and activities. This enabled us to submit a valid claim. Leyton also assisted us in preparing the documentation which outlined the basis for the claim. This can be relied upon in the event of a Revenue audit.”

Patrick Stapleton – Finance – Taxation, 2008
Dolmen & Innovator

“I believe Leyton to be true experts in their field, equipped with global knowledge and industry experience. Their professionalism and experience amounted to a successful claim for us – what more could I ask for? I will be happy to work with them again.”
