Making Your R&D Claims Simple
Claiming R&D Tax Credits From HMRC
Companies all over the UK could well be missing out on the chance to claim back thousands of pounds in research and development (R&D) tax credits.
This is often because they’re either unaware of their eligibility or they simply feel they don’t have the time or expertise to make the claim.
But is the process really that difficult?
Knowing whether your company is eligible to claim R&D tax credits is just the first step, actually identifying everything you can claim for is something else entirely. We work alongside you to compile and submit R&D tax credits reclaim from HMRC.
As well as helping to identify the areas of R&D that can be claimed, by working with Hafren Ousque, companies will also have a faster understanding of whether a claim is worth the time and effort.
As a competent and effective R&D tax advisor we will increase the likelihood of making a successful claim by ensuring that all information is collected efficiently and then presented in the correct manner for HMRC.
We welcome discussions with accountants, because R&D tax reclaim is a specialist section of tax legislation, without an understanding of what can and can’t be claimed, claims may well be a fraction of what the Clients may be entitled to. Even then, there are pitfalls in the process that may hinder the likelihood of a claim being accepted.
So, whether you are a business or an accountant, a chat to us as soon as possible will enable us to help you quickly plan your strategy towards reclaiming those well-needed funds.
The importance of a competent and ethical R&D advisor
Businesses can make claims themselves, or with their accountants, but without prior knowledge of the process or an understanding of what can and can’t be claimed, they may end up claiming a fraction of what they may be entitled to. Even then, there are pitfalls in the process that may hinder the likelihood of a claim being accepted.
