Learn why partnering with R&D tax credit specialists like ABGI Ireland can improve claim accuracy, reduce risk, and give you confidence in your submissions.

Compiling an R&D Tax Credit (RDTC) claim claim is a complex and demanding process that requires a combination of expertise, meticulous organisation, and seamless collaboration between financial and technical teams. Ensuring that genuine R&D activities, efforts, and associated costs are accurately captured can be challenging for many companies.

 

Many organisations face uncertainty about where to start, how to identify qualifying R&D, and how to effectively communicate with Revenue, through strong technical reports, to demonstrate their entitlement to the claim. That’s why partnering with a reputable Irish-based R&D Tax Credit specialist like ABGI Ireland is crucial.
