Shorts' Radius team have submitted hundreds of R&D claims to the HMRC and have never had one refused. The success rate within the Radius team is helped by having an R&D specialist from HM Revenue and Customs within the team.  The team work closely alongside our friends at Barnsley and Rotherham Chamber of Commerce and the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce. We are delighted to be their official partner for helping companies to claim R&D tax reliefs through the Chamber R&D service. The Radius team are keen to help innovative businesses in the area flourish, a focus shared by the Chambers they work with. Shane Young, Membership Manager at Barnsley and Rotherham Chamber said that "Together we will be supporting our members and raising the awareness of the R&D Tax Relief that is available." It is often assumed that R&D is only applicable to companies in the scientific industry however our Radius team have made claims for an extremely diverse range of sectors and industries, including but not limited to:  - The Brewing Sector - Automotive Sector  - Household Products Industry  - and the Hair Products Industry.    Any company seeking to develop new or improved products, procedures  or software should consider whether they are entitled to claim R&D tax reliefs. Regardless of sector or industry you could be missing out on R&D tax reliefs. To arrange your free consultation please follow [the link](https://info.shorts.uk.com/research-and-development-tax-relief?__hstc=233546881.633f919566e261d376fc2c7fcc1c1b84.1520863923670.1525870792954.1528357461340.8&__hssc=&__hsfp=&hsCtaTracking=2be555ab-96dd-4835-920d-554fd09cb413%7C6981bba6-66fc-4f84-a47d-80fc318a362d) below.    [![Claim your free consultation](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2442072/2be555ab-96dd-4835-920d-554fd09cb413.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2442072/2be555ab-96dd-4835-920d-554fd09cb413)   Other related articles  - [Official R&D tax relief partner of Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber of Commerce](https://blog.shorts.uk.com/official-r-d-tax-relief-partner-barnsley-rotherham-chamber-of-commerce) - [R&D tax relief case studies - how we helped clients save tax ](https://blog.shorts.uk.com/rd-tax-relief-case-studies-how-we-helped-clients-save-tax) - [Shorts recruit HMRC Research and Development tax credits expert ](https://blog.shorts.uk.com/shorts-recruit-hmrc-research-and-development-tax-credits-expert) ![author](https://blog.shorts.uk.com/hubfs/1678438830033-1.jpg) #### Jo Grant Jo is the Senior Marketing Manager at Shorts Chartered Accountants.
