Tax webinar recording – investigations and R&D tax relief

Today (Wednesday 20 October) saw the third in our series of four tax webinars this week.

Dave Wase (Investigations Senior Manager) and Sarah Boyes (R&D Senior Manager) were in conversation with Corporate Tax Partner, Stuart Rogers.

Ex-HMRC officer, Dave, discussed current trends in HMRC activity – nudge letters, latest campaigns, penalties, schedule 36 notices and triggers for HMRC discovery notices.

Sarah looked at research & development tax relief: changes, risks and housekeeping – what you and your client need to be aware of, even if you are not carrying out the claim yourself.
