🔎 What Really Happens During an HMRC R&D Compliance Check?

R&D tax relief claims are facing greater scrutiny than ever before. HMRC’s compliance checks go beyond the headline figures, they focus on how well your technical activities are evidenced, documented, and aligned with the legislation.

From detailed questions on your technological uncertainties to requests for contemporaneous records, compliance checks can be complex and time consuming for taxpayers, but fully manageable with the right preparation and approach.

At Westlock Partners, we specialise exclusively in R&D tax relief, providing a partner-led approach that combines technical expertise with practical, hands-on support. Our partner-led team has extensive experience representing companies through complex compliance checks and ensuring our clients remain protected throughout.
