Testimonials

Real experiences from people we’re proud to advise

We’ve worked with SAS for over five years, and they’ve never steered us wrong. Finlay and Will have consistently supported our ever-growing, increasingly complex business, managing intricate tax planning across multiple companies with a deep understanding of the legislation, while staying commercially focused and responsive to our growth. From VAT reclaims and corporate restructuring to a complex, multi-year R&D compliance review that delivered an extremely favourable outcome, they’ve handled every challenge with clarity and confidence. It genuinely feels like working with a growth partner rather than a traditional service provider, and we recommend them without reservation.

Rohan – Uni Admissions

SAS Tax have been instrumental in guiding us through the transition from VGTR to the new VGEC regime. Their understanding of the updated rules — from the removal of the freelancer cap to the exclusion of EU and EEA costs — ensured our claim was handled accurately and efficiently.

The team really took the time to understand our productions and how we operate, making what could have been a complicated process straightforward and stress-free. Alongside their ongoing accounting support, their specialist tax knowledge has been invaluable. We’d highly recommend SAS Tax to any studio navigating VGEC.

Julian, Exient

We were introduced to SAS Tax as we were seeking support with an ongoing compliance check into several R&D claims, which had been filed by our existing advisors. After engaging with SAS Tax, the compliance check was swiftly concluded, and all claims upheld.

All in all, we are very happy with the outcome. We are especially grateful for all the help, guidance and support you provided throughout the process. Your advice made a real difference and helped us achieve such a positive result, thank you very much indeed!

The team at SAS R&D made the whole claim process simple, leaving us to focus on running our business. Their knowledge in identifying qualifying projects and the related expenditure was invaluable, ensuring we were able to maximise the claim amount. Their friendly, proactive approach was vital in completing the claim, from start to finish, in less than one week’s time. We look forward to working with them again!

David Eaves

Managing Director at JDC Scaffolding

★★★★★

We had previously used a firm of accountants to assist with a R&D claim, which was subsequently queried by HMRC, leading to a significant amount of our time being wasted on providing evidence. SAS R&D took the time to ensure that wasn’t the case this time round and their specialist knowledge made all the difference.

Managing Director at MESH4

★★★★★

As this is my first shot at building a start-up business, I have no experience of the R&D claim process. SAS R&D were able to explain the whole process, whilst also translating my innovation into a coherent technical narrative that ultimately resulted in a successful claim.
