Course Details

R&D tax relief has undergone the most significant changes in years – with merged schemes, new digital filing requirements and a stricter compliance environment. Many firms are re-evaluating how they support clients in claiming relief safely and effectively. In this session, we unpack the practical implications of the April 2025 updates, highlight real risks from HMRC's shifting approach and share how accountants can confidently deliver or oversee R&D claims without becoming accidental specialists.

 

In this course Simon Briton covers the following topics:

  • What changed in April 2025 and what it means in practice
  • Common errors and red flags that now attract HMRC scrutiny
  • Digital filing and supporting documentation: getting it right
  • Helping clients articulate R&D – even when they don’t see it themselves
  • Options for outsourcing, reviewing or collaborating on claims safely
