Choosing TBAT Innovation for R&D tax credit support means partnering with a team that brings deep technical expertise. Many of our team members hold PhDs or advanced degrees with an R&D background. This specialised knowledge gives us a clear advantage in pinpointing critical aspects of your claim, such as industry baselines, advances sought, and uncertainties involved.
We have a proven track record: our claims often stand up to Compliance Checks with full HMRC acceptance, and TBAT-prepared claims show a substantially reduced adjustment rate compared to the HMRC average adjustment rate of 70-80% of all enquiry claims assessed. We’ve also successfully taken on and improved poorly prepared claims, ensuring that eligible R&D costs are clearly identified and reducing any potential risk of penalties. In cases where HMRC initially imposed penalties, we have been able to argue successfully for their removal.
Our proactive approach includes effective use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to resolve cases with HMRC without the added expense of going to Tribunal. For TBAT-prepared claims, we offer some complimentary and reduced-cost Compliance Check support, but with the right Tax Investigation Insurance in place our costs can be fully covered.
To streamline the process, we handle the preparation of response documents with minimal client involvement, providing comprehensive, well-structured responses to HMRC enquiries.
Our review of HMRC’s R&D statistics highlights trends in claims, the latest measures to reduce errors and fraud, and presents TBAT's most recent data on HMRC R&D tax claims.
