RD Reliance: Questions & Answers
Yes, we handle the entire process, from eligibility assessment to submission and monitoring with HMRC. We also manage any follow-up queries to ensure a smooth and efficient experience for you.
It’s important to understand that not all work qualifies for R&D tax reliefs. You might have achieved an advance without overcoming technological uncertainty or resolved a technological uncertainty without achieving an advance. You’ll need both aspects to qualify.
At RD Reliance, we’ll leverage our deep understanding of HMRC’s criteria and expectations, gained through extensive experience, including our founder’s former career as a Senior HMRC Tax Inspector. This enables us to assess your activities thoroughly, ensuring they meet the R&D tax scheme’s strict requirements. If your business doesn’t qualify, we’ll tell you upfront, saving you time and effort.
If your work qualifies, we’ll ensure your claim is maximised in line with the rules, remaining fully compliant while ensuring you claim every pound you’re entitled to. Our expertise ensures that every claim we prepare is robust, accurate, and defensible, giving you the confidence and peace of mind you need.
RD Reliance has extensive expertise in the R&D tax scheme, built on our founder’s background as a Senior Tax Inspector working alongside the R&D tax scheme since its introduction in 2000. This provides us with a deep understanding of HMRC’s processes and expectations.
Every R&D tax claim we prepare is reviewed and quality-assured by qualified tax professionals, with qualifications ranging from AAT and ATT to an MSc in Taxation. This ensures that all R&D tax claims we prepare are robust, accurate, compliant, fully maximised and defensible.
As certified members of the R&D Community, our knowledge of the R&D tax scheme has been independently tested and verified. This reflects our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and integrity in everything we do.
Choosing RD Reliance means working with an ATT member firm and a trusted R&D tax specialist who prioritises compliance, accuracy and quality over volume. Led by an ex-HMRC Senior Tax Inspector with extensive experience in R&D tax relief and enquiry support, we understand HMRC’s expectations and how to prepare robust, defensible claims.
In an era of increased HMRC compliance activity, we provide peace of mind by ensuring your claim is thoroughly reviewed and aligned with their guidelines.
As certified members of the R&D Community, we adhere to the highest standards of integrity and professionalism. If your business doesn’t qualify, we’ll tell you upfront, saving you time and effort. Our honest, expert approach ensures you can trust us to handle your claim with care and precision.
If HMRC selects your claim for review, we'll provide comprehensive enquiry support, responding to HMRC queries on your behalf and supporting you in defending your claim.
It’s important to realise that any claim can potentially be subject to an enquiry. HMRC is required to conduct a number of enquiries each year, some of which are selected completely at random, regardless of the strength of any R&D claim submitted.
At RD Reliance, we are committed to only submitting claims that are fully compliant with HMRC’s rules. If an enquiry is launched, we will be by your side every step of the way, helping you navigate the process and defend your claim with confidence.
In theory, businesses in any sector can claim R&D tax reliefs if they have a qualifying project. At RD Reliance, we work with innovative companies across a range of industries but our primary focus is on healthcare, biotech and pharmaceuticals, agri-tech, energy and renewables, fintech, software and IT, mathematics, engineering, manufacturing, automotive and aerospace.
We are particularly interested in collaborating with innovative Welsh companies and fostering connections within the Wales Tech community.
While R&D tax reliefs are available broadly, HMRC has noted that certain sectors, such as care homes, childcare providers, personal trainers, wholesalers, retailers, pubs, and restaurants, are unlikely to meet the necessary qualifying criteria.
