Common Issues Companies face when attempting to compile an R&D Tax Credit Claim

The following list highlights the main issues companies face when attempting to compile their own R&D Tax Credit claim:

• Interpretation of qualifying criteria, companies failing to recognise eligible costs
• Changing legislation may lead to incorrect claims
• Generation of robust documentation to support the claim
• Definition of an SME and difference in criteria between large company and SME
• Time required to bring claim together
• Knowledge of the process to make a successful claim

During the course of our work to date, we have found that many companies struggle to compile and complete a satisfactory R&D Tax Credit claims themselves; simply by not having the time or knowledge of the process, or an accurate understanding of the eligible business costs to achieve a successful outcome. We have also found that many Tax Credit claims submitted by a company have been significantly less than if an outside body like Business Solutions (Midlands) Ltd had undertaken the work on the company’s behalf.
