A Guide to Eligibility in Construction

About the course

Description

After taking this course, you’ll be able to accurately advise any client in the construction industry if their claim is likely to be eligible. R&D claims for construction companies have attracted a lot of attention from HMRC, so it’s important that you get them right. In the course, you’ll learn how HMRC’s attitude towards Construction claims could affect your work and the different red flags you should watch out for
