HMRC disputes in the spotlight

​Three and a half years since the landmark Quinn (London) Ltd vs HMRC case, much has changed in the world of R&D tax relief. Further wins for the taxpayer on the related issues of subsidised expenditure and contracted out R&D have prompted a long-awaited change of approach from HMRC. But what implications does this have for future claims? Do the rules for the new merged scheme remedy the ills of the old (which ended up in tribunal three times)? If not, how can businesses effectively mitigate risk? And what can recent cases tell us about effectively managing R&D tax disputes? 

​This event reunites the advisory team behind the Quinn case, with experts from Stewarts and ForrestBrown examining HMRC’s latest position, identifying potential risks in the new rules, and explaining how businesses can build effective protections into their R&D strategy. 

​This event will be of interest for businesses (and their advisers) in a wide range of sectors, and particularly relevant where multi-layered contracting arrangements are commonplace.
