Enquiry Resolution Service for HMRC R&D Tax Relief Enquiries

It is now more important than ever to ensure your research and development (R&D) tax relief claims are compliant with the relevant guidance. HMRC has rightly, in recent years, increased its levels of diligence in the examination of all claims. If examined, will you be confident your claim was built responsibly and can be defended in its entirety? R&D enquiries can be a long and laborious process; however, our specialists are here to help and support you and your business.
