The Claims Process
The Technical Call
A discussion with your Technical Consultant to determine a list of projects, and detail around the qualifying activities which took place to overcome the technical problems to achieve a significant improvement in technological methods, systems, products, or practice.
Gather Financial Information
Once you’ve sat the tech call with our team, you will receive a financial data request email detailing the information we need for your financial assessment.
The Cost Collection Call
Once we’ve received the financial data from you in full, we’ll arrange a call to assign the relevant costs to the R&D projects. During this call the team member will talk you through the report as it stands, clarifying the qualifying projects.
Submit The Claim
We submit the AIF (Additional Information Form), which includes the key elements of the technical report, directly to HMRC, and we provide the computations for your accountant’s review.
What is Research and Development Tax Relief
R&D Tax Relief is a Government incentive designed to reward technological innovation and support businesses that push boundaries in their field. Recent changes to the scheme mean that HMRC now require more detailed information from claimants and R&D providers. These changes aim to ensure compliance and safeguard the integrity of the scheme. It is more important than ever to work with an R&D specialist that understands the complexities of the R&D scheme.
Compliance
Compliance is prioritised at every stage, particularly during the preparation of R&D claims. This includes verifying the accuracy of financial calculations, evaluating supporting evidence, and ensuring the submission package meets all necessary requirements. To maintain the highest standards, the team conducts regular checks with consultants to ensure nothing is missed, reinforcing their commitment to delivering compliant and successful claims.
Eligibility
The UK Research and Development (R&D) Tax Relief scheme is a government initiative designed to encourage limited companies to invest in technological innovation by offering tax incentives. The R&D Tax Relief scheme is widely regarded as a key support for technological innovation in the UK, encouraging businesses of all sizes to invest in new technology, improve existing offerings, and contribute to broader industry advancements.
Who can claim?
The scheme is designed to promote technological innovation across industries by providing tax incentives to companies that take on projects involving scientific or technological advancements.
Eligible projects aim to improve knowledge or capability
within the field, while seeking to overcome significant technical barriers (for which any competent professional in the relevant industry would agree there are no readily available or deducible solutions).
Qualifying expenditure/project work must occur within the accounting period
The project timeline can start and finish outside of the claim window, but only costs/activities within the claim period can be included.
We are members of The R&D Community who support us with training and guidance.
