How long does a R&D claim take?

HMRC online states they will process 95% of all claims within 28 days of receipt. From time to time they have back logs, but on the flip side, some claims take as little as 2 weeks. The average time for our clients to receive their awards is 31 days

Can you work with our existing accountants?
Yes and it is encouraged. We offer a “start to finish” process and can submit the claims to HMRC on your behalf, but welcome the accountants input as they often hold the financial documents needed to fast track claims.
We have numerous accountants who use our services as a value add for their clients
How much work is required to make a claim?
The more the better, but we appreciate that you have your day to day business to run.
We will request as much of the info needed during the first call and will contact you at the convenient times if we need more. We aim to publish reports within 5 days of the initial contact.
How can I tell what sort of AWARD I will receive?
The type and amount of award is driven by your R&D qualifying expenditure and your profit or loss figure BEFORE taxation. As a rule, if you have a loss or a small profit, you will get a cash credit, and if you made a substantial profit, you will get a reduction in future tax (which 9 time out of 10 results in a refund of Tax already paid)
