Summary
In this episode of FFS, Rachael is joined by R&D specialist Christopher Harrison to unpack one of the most misunderstood areas of UK tax: Research & Development tax credits.
They explain what actually qualifies as R&D in the eyes of HMRC, why something being new to your business doesn’t necessarily make it innovative, and the role genuine technical uncertainty plays in a successful claim. The episode also explores common mistakes businesses make, what HMRC inspectors look for during inquiries, and why documentation from day one is crucial.
With scrutiny on R&D claims increasing and aggressive claim firms still operating in the market, Rachael and Chris share practical advice to help business owners understand the rules, avoid costly mistakes, and approach R&D relief the right way.
