R&D tax relief is a national scheme administered by HMRC, so the rules, the rates and the deadlines are the same in Leeds as they are in London. Nothing about the relief changes with a postcode, and any adviser suggesting otherwise is selling something.
What does change is the work being claimed for. The technical narrative that persuades an inspector reads differently for a Bristol semiconductor company than for a Manchester materials manufacturer, because the uncertainty is different and the competent professional is a different person. These pages cover what companies in each city are actually claiming for.
