This event is for BIMA Members only.
BIMA members may have recently received a letter from HMRC about R&D tax relief claims – part of the tax authority’s wider one to many compliance approach.
But what should you do if one lands in your inbox? What implications does it have for members who have made a claim, and how should affect decision-making for those considering claiming?
This webinar will explain the purpose of these letters and outline the practical steps digital and creative businesses can take in response.
We’ll explore how to assess whether your company is eligible to claim R&D tax relief, what types of projects qualify, and pitfalls to avoid when making a claim.
Drawing on real sector examples and the latest changes in HMRC’s approach, the session will equip attendees with the clarity and confidence to respond appropriately – whether that means reviewing a previous claim or adopting a more robust approach to future claim preparation.
