R&D tax relief rules have changed
The UK R&D tax relief regime has become more complex, with increased scrutiny, evolving rules, and higher expectations around the quality of claim preparation and supporting information.
We help clients to navigate:
- The Merged R&D scheme
- Enhanced R&D Intensive Support (ERIS)
- Claim notification requirements
- Additional Information Form submissions
- Increased HMRC scrutiny and compliance expectations
Our focus is on clear, well supported and defensible R&D relief claims.
