Quick answer: Leyton UK, the R&D tax adviser, does not state a fee, a minimum fee or its enquiry terms in the sources we checked on 27 October 2026, so ask for a written quote. It lists capital allowances. Uplift Tax is an introducer: the specialist sets its fee as a percentage of the successful claim, agreed in writing before work starts.

Best for
Leyton UK may suit you if
- you want capital allowances looked at by the same firm, because it lists that service on its UK website;
- you are happy to request a written quote that states the fee basis, minimum fee and enquiry terms.
Uplift Tax may suit you if
- you want an introduction to an HMRC-registered specialist and the specialist's fee terms in writing before you engage;
- you want a second route to compare against a direct quote.
When the other option is the better choice
If you already know you want Leyton UK and have a written quote you are happy with, an introducer adds a step without adding information. If you are still choosing, written quotes for the same claim from two or three advisers are the fairest comparison.
Worked example: a £200,000 claim
Figures are for illustration on a £200,000 benefit (the cash value of the claim to the company) and use only fees published in the sources linked on this page.
| Firm | Published fee basis | Fee on £200,000 | Net to the company |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leyton UK | Not stated in the sources we checked (27 October 2026) | Not published; ask for a written quote | Not published |
A useful quote states the fee basis (percentage or fixed), any minimum fee, whether VAT is added, and what enquiry support costs.
Uplift Tax: The fee is quoted in writing for your claim, so we do not show a figure here. Send your numbers and we will arrange a written estimate.
Uplift Tax is an introducer. The specialist pays us a share of its fee. You do not pay Uplift Tax anything. See how our fees work.
What Leyton UK publishes
In the sources we checked on 27 October 2026, Leyton UK does not state a fee, a minimum fee, a sector focus or its HMRC enquiry terms, and we show no Trustpilot figure for it. It lists capital allowances on its UK website. Its Companies House record shows Leyton UK Limited (06977112) as active, with accounts made up to 30 June 2025. A missing fee is not evidence of a high or low fee; the number has to come from a quote.
What to ask any adviser, including us
Ask each adviser, in writing: the fee basis (percentage or fixed) and the rate; any minimum fee; whether VAT is added; what happens to the fee if HMRC reduces or rejects the claim; and the scope and cost of HMRC enquiry support. Then compare the answers on the same claim size and year. The worked example above shows why: until a fee is stated, there is nothing to calculate.
How Uplift Tax works
Uplift Tax is an introducer. The specialist pays us a share of its fee. You do not pay Uplift Tax anything. We do not prepare the claim: the HMRC-registered specialist we introduce you to does, and it sets and states its fee in writing before work starts. See how our fees work. The scope of enquiry support is set out in writing in the engagement letter; see what happens in an HMRC random enquiry for why to ask before you sign.
