Supporting envoPAP’s mission of empowering sustainability

GrantTree helped sustainable materials innovator envoPAP claim its full R&D Tax allowance with a compliant, well-structured claim.

envoPAP started as a sustainable paper company before developing a range of cutting-edge packing materials with a significantly smaller environmental footprint than traditional products. This required considerable research and development work, making the company a perfect candidate for the R&D Tax Relief scheme.

envoPAP chose GrantTree to prepare its most recent R&D Tax claim after seven years with its previous provider. Our tax specialists and technical consultants dove deeply into envoPAP’s development work, identifying all eligible activities. They then structured the work into several projects that satisfied the government’s strict definition of qualifying R&D.

Optimising envoPAP’s Claim

Senior R&D Technical Consultant and Team Lead Dr Razia Chowdhry, PhD, led a comprehensive exploration of envoPAP’s development work, identifying all activities that was eligible for R&D Tax Relief. Razia then structured the activities into a series of qualifying projects while our financial consultants uncovered all associated costs that were eligible for relief. In addition to ensuring envoPAP secured its full allowance of R&D Tax Relief, this work improved the company's ability to communicate its innovation to its stakeholders.

Educating envoPAP About R&D Tax Relief

GrantTree helped envoPAP understand HMRC’s new approach to compliance and the impact the recent changes to the scheme would have on their business. Kaushal Shah, Founder and CEO, said, “GrantTree’s team gave us real clarity about the future of R&D Tax Relief. This clearly demonstrates the team’s deep experience with the scheme.”

Consistently Excellent Communication

From setup call to claim submission, GrantTree worked hard to maintain consistent, high-quality communication. The team prioritised flexibility, hosting calls at the times that best suited envoPAP and sharing information in the way that was most convenient. “The communication was consistently excellent from GrantTree. They shared just enough information and tailored their approach to our needs,” Kaushal said.

What envoPAP said...

“I’m extremely impressed by the quality of GrantTree’s technical people and communication. The team were always available for phone calls and went much deeper into our technical work than our previous providers. This allowed them to combine all of our cutting-edge R&D activity into a clear, well-structured claim. This could only have been done by someone who really understood our development work.”
