Research and Development Expenditure Credit

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many Research and Development tax credit relief applicants have received repeated requests for information in the last 12 months.

Answer

Research and Development tax reliefs are a vital driver of innovation, growth and productivity and are crucial to the government’s pledge to grow the economy. It’s important that these reliefs are easy to claim and are provided quickly to genuine claimants.

HMRC does not record details of the number of additional requests for information, however, HMRC asks for information only where it is needed to support a claimant in justifying their claim.
