We help technologists get R&D Tax Credits without the fuss.

"We're very happy with the £160k refund Rukea helped us to get. We've claimed thrice so far using Rukea's painless process and we're very happy with the results. They explained our work with clarity and maximised our claim each time."
— Kimmo Soramäki, CEO • FNA
"Rukea helped our accountant file our R&D tax claim with minimal effort from our side. We filled a short form and they did the rest. This was really helpful, as a small tech startup it is hard to find time for anything outside of development and raising investment."
— Nathan Koren, CEO • Podaris
Send us what you have. We'll tell you how you shape up against our dataset of hundreds of R&D tax cases spanning 13+ industries.
If the answer is yes, we do the rest for 1% of the development spend we review. £300,000 of spend means a £3,000 fee, agreed in writing before we start.
Spending under £50k a year on R&D? Write to us anyway. We are founder friendly.
Prices include VAT.
About 45 minutes of your time. All of it by email.
Short questions by email. A few minutes each. No calls. No meetings.
We find the qualifying spend, calculate the credit, and write your claim within a week. Software checks it against real HMRC cases.
You review. The claim is filed. HMRC pays most claims within 40 days. If HMRC asks questions later, we'll answer. We've got you.
We are technologists first. We have prepared R&D claims since 2014, and we believe in the promise of the UK's scheme: if you build, you are owed.

You do not have to decide anything today. Ask the one question that matters: can I claim? A no costs £29.99 and saves you a wasted season.
