How to Build Strong Ethics & Good Marketing Practice into your R&D Service
Description
With HMRC ramping up its compliance efforts, what you saying in marketing your R&D service has never been more important. As the market shifts towards making more conservative claims, SMEs are also increasingly looking for advisors they deem to be competent, responsible and ethical – rather than those that charge the least or make the biggest promises.
But what does good marketing look like in practice? And how can you make sure that you’re on the level and giving prospective clients the information they need in a clear and ethical manner? In this module we cover the key ethical standards that apply to you when preparing R&D claims, and good and bad practice in marketing your service.
Course Outcomes
This course will:
- Explain HMRC’s Standard for Agents & PCRT, and how those apply to you when preparing R&D claims
- Provide practical tips on how to centre your R&D service on your ethics, and the business benefits that this brings

It’s an incredibly useful addition to our internal R&D training programme, accessible 24/7, which helps to consolidate R&D learning by testing the candidate’s knowledge on all aspects of the scheme as they progress.
It’s also a valuable additional to our “belt and braces” approach of ensuring that all our customer-facing staff have the deepest knowledge of the R&D tax scheme possible.
