Has HMRC launched an enquiry into your R&D Tax claim?
Handling HMRC R&D tax credits enquiries is part of our full client service.
Let us conduct a no obligation review and see if we can help. The starting point is a review of documentation and HMRC questions.
Harrington Taylor's Enquiry Defence Team will manage your enquiry and handle all negotiations with the R&D Tax Unit, ensuring you receive the correct outcome.
Harrington Taylor has a Enquiry Defence team which can help companies who’ve prepared and submitted claims themselves or using a different provider.
We will take over responsibility for defending the claim, advising on the best defence strategy and negotiating with relevant tax authorities until an agreement is reached.
HMRC enquiry rates are rising and, if not handled properly, could damage your business. Questions can be detailed, requests can be onerous and the potentially lengthy process could be costly to you and your business in a number of areas.
Regardless of how a claim has been submitted – by an internal team, accountants or other adviser – there is always the risk of an HMRC enquiry. Enquiry rates are rising and, if not handled properly, could damage your business. At best, an enquiry will take up valuable time which could otherwise be focussed on growing your business.
The guidelines are lengthy and detailed and - despite hearsay that HMRC doesn't have the resources to look at every claim - they are very focused on making sure tax relief only goes to those with eligibility.
Our Enquiry Defence Team engages with your finance and technical team members, getting up to speed with your claim.
We delve into the technical and financial elements of your claim, comparing problem areas against the enquiry letter from HMRC.
Our team takes over communications with HMRC, using well-messaged correspondence to expedite the enquiry while protecting your reputation.
We develop a robust defence, addressing HMRC’s questions with additional evidence that corroborates your claim size.
We prepare your finance and technical teams for any interviews with HMRC, and join them on all calls to coach them through difficult questions.
Once the enquiry is resolved, we will stay on top of the payment process, ensuring your tax credit isn’t delayed further.
