An R&D Tax enquiry or compliance check is an HMRC investigation that examines whether your claim contains costs or projects that are not eligible for relief.
Even if your claim was 100% accurate and compliant, your enquiry is likely to be time-consuming, stressful, and take months to resolve.
But you can make the process much easier and faster by working with GrantTree.

Filing and defending R&D Tax Relief claims
Our Enquiry Support team will determine why HMRC has opened a compliance check. They will do this by conducting a detailed analysis of your original filing, reviewing your correspondence with HMRC, and speaking to your finance and technical teams.
Based on their analysis, our team will assemble an ironclad defence of your eligibility, answering your inspector’s questions and supplying supporting evidence to resolve HMRC’s uncertainties. If necessary, they will restructure and resubmit your previous claim.
We will take over all enquiry-related communications with HMRC. We will alert your inspector that we are overseeing your enquiry. In every interaction with the tax authority, we will work to build a rapport and nurture trust.
If HMRC wants to interview you about your claim, we will prepare your key financial and technical people and coach them through any difficult questions during the call.
