Blue Ocean Tax – Where R&D Success Is Built on Strategy, Not Speculation

At Blue Ocean Tax, we don’t rely on guesswork or gut feelings—every R&D claim we build is grounded in precision and backed by experience. Our system exists because the old way of doing things simply wasn’t good enough.

We’ve developed a repeatable 5-stage process designed specifically for the UK market and refined through real-world application.

Each stage—from identifying qualifying projects to finalising HMRC-ready reports—is built to reduce risk and maximise return.

Nothing is left to chance—we use intelligent frameworks, data-backed assessments, and a structured workflow to ensure every claim is accurate and fully compliant.

With a background in both tax consultancy and business growth strategy, we know what works—and we stick to it.

Our clients don’t have to wonder if they’re doing it right… because we already know the right way to do it. The result?

Claims that are cleaner, faster, and far more likely to unlock the full relief available.

Choosing Blue Ocean Tax means choosing a system that’s already been proven to deliver. No fluff. No gamble. Just clarity, compliance, and consistent results.

Meet Phil Tarbun, the founder of Blue Ocean Tax and the creator behind our fully compliant, results-driven R&D Blueprint.

With a background in accountancy/taxation and over a decade spent supporting UK businesses, Phil saw firsthand how many were missing out on legitimate R&D relief due to poor guidance or fear of getting it wrong.

That’s why he built a done-for-you system that simplifies every step—giving clients clarity, confidence, and cash back in the bank.

Phil’s method isn’t based on theory; it’s grounded in experience and proven through thousands reclaimed for clients (and even his own business).

His philosophy is simple: take the guesswork out of R&D claims and replace it with a structured system that works—every time.

From start to finish, our focus is on outcomes: real savings, real impact, and long-term financial gains.

With Blue Ocean Tax, your ROI isn’t just protected—it’s maximised.
