What can my business do to minimise the chance of an R&D compliance check being opened?

Providing robust documentation that details the Research and Development (R&D) activities in an easily digestible but comprehensive manner will reduce the risk of a compliance check. The general principle is to try to answer any questions HMRC may ask within the report – before they get the chance to ask them.

A good R&D advisor will be able to recognise the elements of a claim that HMRC may be curious about and will ensure that additional detail is provided.
