Turn Qualifying Development Work into a Clear Tax Claim

Research and Development tax relief may be available when a company works to achieve an advance in science or technology and has to overcome genuine technical uncertainty. A project does not have to take place in a laboratory or produce a completely new product. Qualifying work may also involve improving software, materials, manufacturing methods, engineering processes or technical systems. AZI Accountant helps you review projects, identify relevant costs and prepare the information required for a supportable claim. We discuss the technical work with the people who understand it, connect project activity with the accounting records and explain which current relief may apply. The claim is then prepared alongside the Company Tax Return and the required additional information is submitted to HMRC in the correct order.
  • Review Potential Projects. We discuss the work completed during the accounting period and identify projects that may meet the definition of Research and Development.
  • Understand the Technical Advance. The intended advance and the technical uncertainties faced by the project team are recorded in clear and accurate language.
  • Identify Qualifying Costs. Relevant staffing, software, consumable, subcontractor and other project costs are reviewed under the current rules.
  • Prepare Supporting Information. Project descriptions and cost schedules are prepared using evidence from both technical staff and the accounting records.
  • Complete the Tax Submission. The required forms and claim figures are prepared for inclusion with the company’s Corporation Tax reporting.

Support Beyond Your First R and D Claim

Research and Development activity can continue across several accounting periods, while project aims, staffing and costs may change. A regular review creates better records and helps qualifying work remain separate from routine commercial activity. We can also assist when a company has claimed before but needs to adapt its process to current HMRC requirements.
