R&D Claim Support for Compliance-Focused UK Practices

R&D tax relief claims now need stronger evidence, clearer project explanations, more disciplined cost analysis, and careful attention to claim notification and additional information requirements. A weak claim pack can slow review and increase enquiry risk.

LekhaWekha provides the outsourced R&D tax credit claims UK accountants need to prepare structured support packs while your firm keeps final eligibility judgement, client advice, and HMRC submission control.

We help translate client interviews, technical facts, staff cost data, subcontractor costs, consumables, software costs, and CT600 treatment into a clear white-label claim file for your review.

What Your R&D Claim Pack Includes

  • R&D eligibility checklist and fact-gathering support
  • Project summaries linked to science or technology advance
  • Technical uncertainty, baseline knowledge, and competent professional notes
  • Qualifying cost analysis for staff, EPWs, subcontractors, software, and consumables
  • Claim notification prompts and additional information form support
  • RDEC, merged scheme, and enhanced R&D intensive support review prompts
  • CT600 schedule support, query logs, and reviewer handoff notes
  • White label R&D claims support UK accounting firms can deliver under their brand

Outsourced R&D Tax Credit Claims UK Accountants

R&D tax relief remains valuable for innovative UK companies, but claim preparation now demands stronger evidence, clearer project explanations, and a more disciplined submission workflow. HMRC expects claims to show an advance in science or technology and to include detailed additional information before the Company Tax Return claim is made.

LekhaWekha provides outsourced R&D tax credit claims support UK accountants can use to prepare evidence-led claim packs, technical narratives, cost schedules, AIF support, CT600 prompts, and reviewer notes under your firm's white-label process.

What Counts as R&D for Tax Relief?

HMRC guidance says R&D must seek an advance in a field of science or technology. The work should address scientific or technological uncertainty, and only companies chargeable to UK Corporation Tax can qualify. Our role is to help prepare the evidence and analysis for your firm's review.

Why UK Firms Outsource R&D Claims Support

With offshore R&D tax relief claim support, UK firms can add preparation capacity without asking senior tax staff to build every narrative, cost schedule, and information pack from scratch.

  • Prepare R&D project summaries and cost schedules faster
  • Support white label R&D claims support for UK accounting workflows under your brand
  • Outsource R&D credits that UK practices can review before client sign-off
  • Improve consistency across evidence gathering, AIF support, and CT600 claim packs
  • Free managers to focus on eligibility judgement, risk review, and client advice
  • Document assumptions, caveats, and evidence gaps before submission

Claim Notification and Additional Information

Some companies must submit a claim notification form for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2023. HMRC also requires detailed additional information before the R&D claim is included in the Company Tax Return. We help prepare the data and support pack for your firm's review.

Important: Final Claim Judgement Remains With Your Firm

R&D tax relief claims require professional judgement. LekhaWekha prepares research, narratives, calculations, and documentation support. Your firm remains responsible for eligibility conclusions, client advice, claim sign-off, and HMRC submission.
