Our experience and our in-depth understanding of the legislation
Our specialists have built up a wealth of knowledge and this coupled with in-depth understanding of the legislation enables us to consistently identify areas of additional qualifying expenditure initially overlooked by companies - even in cases where these companies have previously been advised that they did not qualify for the relief. In one case we were able to increase the amount of qualifying expenditure for a large multi-national by 200 times of that originally identified by the client. This claim has been agreed by HMRC. Are you confident that you have included all eligible qualifying expenditure in your claim?
