The R&D Claim Process

R&D Claim Process

Our R&D team has prepared some helpful information on the R&D claim process.

Discovery and Assessment

Your dedicated point of contact and expert project team will kick off your claim and work with you to identify the information needed to create your claim.

Information gathering and analysis

We combine tax technical firepower with in-depth sector knowledge to uncover the full extent of your qualifying R&D. Our chartered tax advisers and sector specialists will work directly with your finance and technical teams to gather all the information we need for your claim.

Assist to create your R&D tax relief claim

We will document your claim and the evidence required for HMRC, explaining how your activities and costs have been assessed, and your total R&D tax credit benefit determined. This ensures you can be confident that you have a robust claim.

Approvals and submissions

We will share our reports with you for approval and will explain our findings. We will file your R&D tax credit claim for you via your Corporation Tax return (CT600) or work with your accountant to do so.

Deal with HMRC on your behalf

After we’ve submitted your claim via your Corporation Tax return (CT600) we’ll keep in touch with you to ensure minimal hold-ups. In the event HMRC would open an enquiry, we will work to resolve this for you provided you have signed up to our tax investigation insurance.

Receiving your benefit and reinvesting

You are rewarded for your investment in innovation and your Corporation Tax bill will be reduced or your cash benefit is paid into your bank account. That’s money to spark your next big idea and fuel your continued growth – reinvesting in projects and people, we have a range of competent professionals providing a multitude of services to help grow and serve your business.
