UHY’s methodology centres on clarity, collaboration, and technical precision. We begin by gaining a deep understanding of each client’s operations, challenges, and goals. Our specialists then identify qualifying activities, gather evidence, and translate complex technical work into clear, compliant documentation. Throughout the process, we maintain open communication, ensuring clients understand each step and the value it drives. Every claim is rigorously reviewed for accuracy, defensibility, and alignment with HMRC guidance. This structured, client‑focused approach ensures robust outcomes and meaningful long‑term support.

activities, expenditure, and risk areas through

HMRC guidance and determining claim viability

or technological advances, uncertainties, and

from competent professionals within the business
during the period.

apportioning staff, subcontractor, consumable, and

while remaining conservative, compliant, and fully
auditable under current UK tax legislation and
guidance.
Claim Preparation and Submission
Claim preparation and submission compiles technical
and financial reports, completes CT600 schedules,
and manages digital filing, ensuring accuracy,
consistency, and timely submission to HMRC in line
with statutory deadlines requirements.
HMRC Enquiry Support
HMRC enquiry support provides proactive defence,
responding to questions, supplying evidence, and
liaising with inspectors to resolve challenges
efficiently and protect the integrity of the R&D claim
throughout the process.
Post-Claim Advisory and Planning
Post-claim advisory reviews outcomes, identifies
future opportunities, and embeds best practice
processes, helping businesses plan ongoing R&D
investment and optimise tax relief year after year
with confidence, clarity, governance, control.
