In recent years, Markel’s acquisition and merger of Abbey Tax, Accountax, HowarthLynch, and Gabelle helped to secure Markel Tax’s position as a market-leading UK tax consultancy firm. Markel Tax also operates one of the UK’s most successful business helpline services.

Within Markel Tax’s capability is an incentives and relief team who are highly qualified and have a high success rate of R&D tax claims in food manufacturing. Markel Tax works with food manufactures to establish eligibility and the size of the claim. Once eligibility has been established, their R&D tax specialists prepare a detailed technical report and breakdown of costs and submit the claim to HMRC, liaising with the HMRC to secure acceptance of the R&D claim.

In 2018, Markel Tax’s R&D team secured over £40m in R&D tax relief for UK companies, and have assisted businesses ranging from small start-ups, through to FTSE 250 organisations.
