R&D Support: Risk Review

Ask an R&D expert to review your claims for red flags

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

To give you some reassurance ahead of submitting a claim to HMRC, we can review your client’s technical narratives and cost schedules for red flags.

We highlight anything we feel is likely to be a risk, or attract the attention of HMRC, so that you can deal with it before it becomes an issue.

This can be part of your regular quality control process, if you feel you want the extra support. Or you can just have us review a particularly tricky or complex claim.

Depending on the amount of documentation you need reviewed, this takes 60-90 minutes.

How much does it cost?

The cost will vary depending on the amount of documentation we need to review for you.

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

If you’re already a member of The R&D Community, you can contact Richard via the Helpline and we can give you a quote for your risk review.
