R&D covers negative and positive steps around research and development activities, including identifying eligible projects, claiming reliefs, and documenting costs for tax purposes. A solicitor in this area typically reviews project costs, personnel time, software, and subcontracted work to determine eligibility for schemes such as the R&D tax relief and related allowances, drafts the supporting documentation, and coordinates with the finance team and HMRC as claims are prepared and submitted. This work can shape a company’s ability to reinvest in innovation and to demonstrate compliance with the qualifying criteria for reliefs.
The solicitor handles qualifying and disqualifying costs, aligns project accounting with relief criteria, negotiates with HMRC on complex claims, and addresses potential audit issues. They interpret the rules governing eligible expenditure, subcontractor treatment, and capex versus revenue spend, and they ensure protection through professional indemnity insurance and regulatory accountability.
