Operating in the R&D space has become increasingly challenging with heightened scrutiny from HMRC. Harris Partnership had heard numerous “horror stories” about tax investigations, and as architects, they weren’t equipped to navigate these risks alone. They faced a direct enquiry from HMRC into one of their R&D claims; an entirely new and daunting experience for the firm.
B&B guided our client through the entire process. How? By:
Securing the full claim was a huge win for Harris Partnership. They’ve since used the R&D relief to reward staff, upgrade their offices, and ease rising insurance costs in the wake of Grenfell. B&B’s support also saved their technical team significant time.
The B&B team was particularly proactive in advising the firm to reject a cut-deal offer from HMRC that was nearly 50% less than the original claim value. Thanks to B&B’s expertise, the claim was ultimately accepted in full.
“If we didn’t have their expertise to help, then we would have taken HMRC’s offer of a substantially reduced benefit.”
From start to finish, B&B made a daunting process feel manageable. The team was friendly, reassuring, and exceptionally diligent. No surprises, just deep expertise and calm, professional support. When faced with HMRC’s intense questioning, Harris Partnership felt truly supported and confident.
