Armstrong Watson have been Clark Door Ltd accountants and auditors for many years.  With the introduction of research and development tax relief in November 2000, Nigel Holmes approached us as a company he thought might qualify for this relief.
Since that time Armstrong Watson's proactive approach and technical knowledge of the ever changing rules has resulted in substantial tax savings from the application of this relief.  Their approach results is a very smooth procedure and claims process and we have no hesitation is recommending their service to third parties.
