HMRC intensifies scrutiny of Research & Development (R&D) tax claims

HMRC has significantly increased its scrutiny of R&D claims in the last couple of years in an attempt to combat incorrect claims being made in company’s tax returns. However, as a result of the increased number of enquiries, it is felt that many companies making legitimate R&D claims are having their claims enquired into. This can be challenging as bringing an R&D enquiry to a conclusion can be a costly and time-consuming process. In 2024, one in five claims faced an enquiry, compared with just one in 20 two years earlier.

If you are making an R&D claim, we would strongly encourage that fee protection insurance is taken out. Dealing with HMRC in connection with a R&D enquiry can be a very lengthy and time consuming process and this will help reduce the cost of dealing with any enquiry. With increasing enquiries, preparation and accuracy are essential for every R&D claim.

Striking off vs winding up: what is the difference for your company?

The Insolvency Service has reported on an investigation it made into a company that was serving as a front to enable unlicensed insolvency activities previously carried out by another firm. The investigation resulted in the Insolvency Service winding up the company in the public interest.

The case serves as a reminder that only properly licensed insolvency practitioners can act as a liquidator or administrator for a company. However, if you’ve reached the point where your company has run its course and you want to close it down, does that mean your only option is to formally wind it up using a licensed insolvency practitioner? No. Another option open to many companies is to have the company ‘struck off.’

This article explores the differences between striking off a company and winding it up, and in what circumstances you might choose one over the other. Read more by clicking the link in our bio.

State pension set for rise – but more retirees may face tax

From April 2026, people drawing the state pension may see an increase of more than £500 a year, thanks to the government’s triple lock guarantee. The policy means the pension rises each year by whichever is higher: 2.5%, inflation, or average wage growth. The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics suggest that the average earnings growth of 4.7% will be the measure used.
