Case Studies
Food Manufacturing Business - Six Figures Claim Enquiry
A manufacturing business faced HMRC enquiry covering two accounting years. The client initially handled the correspondence themselves, and HMRC rejected the claim due to unclear explanations and gaps in the evidence. Their accountants contacted us to take over the defence and assess whether the decision could be reversed. Our review identified several technical and financial errors within the original submission. We rebuilt the claim narrative, corrected the errors, and prepared a structured defence supported by clear evidence. We engaged directly with HMRC, addressing each point raised in the enquiry.
HMRC approved the claim with only minimal adjustments, limited solely to the errors we identified.
IT Technology Business
An IT development company faced an HMRC enquiry covering two financial years. After responding directly, the client received a full refusal of their R&D claim. Their accountants approached us to assess the case and determine whether the decision could be challenged. Our review identified strong underlying technical evidence that had not been clearly presented to HMRC. We rebuilt the technical narrative, clarified the qualifying uncertainties, and prepared a structured appeal addressing each point in the refusal. We liaised directly with HMRC throughout the process, providing a clear, evidence‑backed defence.
HMRC overturned the refusal, and both years of the claim were approved in full with no changes to the total value.
