Research and Development Tax Relief

We begin every R&D tax credit engagement with a detailed eligibility assessment to identify qualifying projects under HMRC’s R&D guidelines. Our team works closely with your technical and finance teams to understand the innovation, technological challenges, and uncertainties involved. We ensure your activities meet HMRC’s definition of R&D, providing clarity and confidence before any claim preparation begins.

Our specialists analyse your financial data to pinpoint costs that qualify for R&D tax relief, including staff, subcontractors, consumables, and software. We apply HMRC’s rules to ensure all eligible expenditure is captured accurately, maximising your claim while maintaining compliance. Our clear documentation and process transparency provide you with confidence in both the robustness and efficiency of your claim.

We prepare comprehensive R&D claims that clearly demonstrate the link between qualifying activities and expenditure. Our approach combines technical accuracy with financial precision, ensuring claims are fully aligned with HMRC requirements. This is even more important than ever in the current landscape of increased HMRC scrutiny of R&D claims and a ramping up in the number of HMRC enquiries.
We handle the full submission process, including preparing the technical narrative and financial schedules, to deliver a compliant, well-evidenced claim that stands up to scrutiny.

In the event of an HMRC enquiry, we provide full support and representation to protect your interests. Our experienced team responds to HMRC’s questions, prepares clarifications, and liaises directly with inspectors to ensure your claim is properly understood. We aim to achieve a swift, positive resolution while minimising disruption to your business operations.
