Our R&D HMRC Enquiry Support process:
Step 1: Check if this process is right for you
We will review your case and confirm if the Enquiry Support process is advantageous for your case. This step is non-chargeable and commitment free.
Step 2: Enquiry Review
We will review your R&D tax claim(s), including all related correspondence with HMRC. Throughout this step, we offer comprehensive guidance to you and your team.
Step 3: Resolution Approach
After our detailed review, we will work with you to devise a tailored strategy to resolve the enquiry swiftly while minimising any potential disruption to your operations.
Step 4: Case Management
We will advocate for your case with HMRC, managing all correspondence on your behalf. By managing all aspects of the enquiry, we aim to alleviate the administrative burden, allowing you to focus on your core business activities.
To effectively advocate for your interests, we may require additional information. Our expert team will coordinate directly with your technical or finance team if necessary. We can arrange virtual meetings for your convenience but are also available for on-site visits if preferred.
Step 5: Ongoing Support
If HMRC requires further discussions, we will continue supporting you until a satisfactory resolution is reached. Our team will directly engage with HMRC on your behalf, working towards achieving the most favourable outcome for your business.
Step 6: Post-Enquiry Support
After the enquiry’s resolution, we will offer advice on best practices for documenting and claiming R&D tax relief in the future to reduce the likelihood of subsequent enquiries.
