HMRC continually monitors its compliance approach to R&D tax reliefs, which is in line with their wider aim to help people get their tax right first time through education, improving our systems, and stepping in with proportionate, targeted responses where tax is at risk of going unpaid.
HMRC undertake high-volume targeted activity to contact multiple customers who make similar mistakes, prompting them to correct the errors. Examples of this include trade sectors where HMRC do not generally see successful claims for R&D.

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, whether his Department has had discussions with cellular network providers in Gaza on the adequacy of telecommunication services in that region.
To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, whether his Department has had discussions with cellular network providers in Gaza on the adequacy of telecommunication services in that region.
We are deeply concerned about the severely damaged telecommunications and internet networks in Gaza, which are causing repeated near total communications blackouts. This is limiting the ability of Palestinians in Gaza to communicate and greatly hampers the humanitarian response. Officials are in regular contact with Paltel, the leading telecommunications company in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs). We recognise the strenuous efforts of Paltel's staff in Gaza to make repairs and maintain services, at great risk to themselves. The Foreign Secretary's Representative for Humanitarian Affairs in the OPTs is working intensively to address the blockages preventing more aid reaching and being delivered across Gaza.
