The enquiry process and outcome<\/h2>\n

“In 2023, HMRC launched an enquiry into our 2022 R&D claim. <\/strong>Their main concern was substantiating the innovative activities carried out by our in-house team.<\/strong> While we had been filing claims successfully in previous years, this enquiry required additional justification for the activities included in the claim. At this point, our accountants referred us to Leyton UK for support in navigating the process.

The Leyton UK team exceeded our expectations throughout the enquiry process. Nabeel, who supported us on the technical side, demonstrated a thorough understanding of back-end development, which allowed him to communicate effectively with our software team. <\/strong>This expertise meant there was no learning curve\u2014he engaged with our team confidently and with authority. On the financial side, the support was equally professional.

The team provided clear guidance on HMRC\u2019s requirements and helped us prepare complex documentation with ease.<\/strong> Their approach made what could have been a difficult and stressful process remarkably seamless.”<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
