Our ‘The Fundamentals of the R&D Tax Relief Scheme’ training course has been running consistently—every month—to give accountants the tools they need to offer a robust R&D service to their clients.

About the course

Identifying eligible clients and learning how to spot innovation is a key step towards running a successful in-house R&D service, and we’ve designed a course specifically to help accountants do just that! Our team of R&D experts, Jen Badger and Ian Cashin, will take you through a structured programme of topics—with time for a Q&A at the end.

Whether you are starting from scratch or looking to brush up on your existing knowledge, you’ll come away with a comprehensive understanding of the scheme guidelines, a framework within which to identify eligibility within your clients projects and a take away guide to refer back to following the session.

  • Feel empowered: Learn to discuss the scheme more clearly with your clients.
  • Be informed: Get to grips with the HMRC guidelines on R&D tax relief. Learn what sits under the SME scheme vs RDEC.
  • Build awareness: Understand the context of R&D tax across different industries.
  • Build confidence: Learn how to identify eligible clients and projects.

Reserve a spot and learn the ropes in a small group of like-minded peers. Sessions are kept small so that everyone gets the full attention of our industry experts.
