It was a pleasure to help with an R&D Tax Credit claim for an industry leading technology business: this required analysis of projects to determine validity of R&D tax credit claims for previous financial year. I collated and analysed the available data (spending, time logs etc.) and verified supporting evidence. With this done the calculation of the claim is fairly straightforward. The key to the claim is then to write a summary report in line with DBIS guidelines for submission alongside the company accounts; it can be challenging to identify qualifying activities but, with some practical experience, a robust claim can be put together.
