Steps to success
We begin by gathering financial information early in the process to inform and streamline subsequent technical discussions. We record detailed data on staff time and roles lined to R&D activity as well as relevant costs where applicable.
With financial data in hand, we conduct a comprehensive kick-off meeting involving key stakeholders and competent professionals. During this session we identify potential R&D activity, confirm that your business meets HMRC’s eligibility criteria, and map out which areas of your operations could contain hidden or under-claimed R&D.
Our technical specialists collaborate with your in-house experts to develop compelling project narratives that clearly describe the scientific or technological advancements attempted, the uncertainties encountered, and the process followed to resolve them.
We then calculate the total qualifying expenditure, applying the appropriate scheme treatment. Our tax team prepares the figures for inclusion in your CT600 or CT600L and ensures all supporting evidence, including the AIF, is submitted in the correct format.
Once the claim is submitted…
-
- HMRC may accept it immediately, raise folow-up queries, or open up a formal enquiry.
- We manage all interactions with HMRC on your behalf, ensuring swift and clear responses to any questions raised.
- The benefit will either be offset against Corporation Tax liabilities or paid directly as a cash credit, depending on the scheme and your tax position.
HMRC relationship
We pride ourselves on our excellent working relationships with the tax authorities who oversee the schemes on which we provide advice. Our consultants have worked with HMRC on claims for a number of years, being heavily involved in the R&D incentive schemes since their inception.
Our service doesn’t end with submitting your claim. Instead, we work with you and HMRC, safeguarding that your claim processed correctly and efficiently.
