R&D Support: Enquiry Defence

Ask an R&D expert to support you through an HMRC Compliance Check

This is one of the Claim Support services available to members of The R&D Community

If this is the first enquiry you’re defending, or you’re short on time to handle it, we can step in and take the lead.

We prepare your client to talk to HMRC and draft response documents for your approval. We can also attend video calls with your client and HMRC, helping your client to present their case in the best possible light.

The amount of time spent on enquiry defence can vary – we’d expect to spend at least 10-20 hours, possibly more.

How much does it cost?

The cost will vary depending on the amount of support you need with your enquiry. Once we’ve discussed your requirements, we might be able to offer you a fixed price.

The Claim Support service is charged at £195+VAT per hour. You have to be a member to access the service, and membership starts at £150+VAT per month.

How to access the service

Richard provided insight as to the best way to deal with the enquiry and the best way to present the information that was needed by HMRC, whilst reassuring our client that they had a specialist in their corner.

Throughout the process he helped us to increase our own knowledge of R&D and how to deal with HMRC moving forwards.

It gave us peace of mind to know that we (or the client) weren’t going to say or do something wrong that may have actually made the situation with HMRC worse rather than better!
