Partnering with iCS is focused on relationships, trust and taking the long-term view for our mutual clients. It enables you to stay in control while we support you to add-value and reinforce your client relationships, often through three-way meetings. iCS exists to reward your clients with the optimum amount of R&D tax that their innovation merits whilst finding a balance between your clients personal and commercial “HMRC risk appetite” and the optimum claim achievable. We have developed simple, structured and efficient processes to minimise the time that both you and your clients spend on claims:

• Desktop Review: of your client and their sector
• Short Exploratory Call: to confirm viability and ensure a valid claim will result
• No Form Filling: a sub three-hour meeting with appropriate decision makers and people to capture detailed project information
• Financial Information: is supplied by you, their accountant
• Whole Process managed by iCS: Qualification Call, Technical Interview, Professional Report Writing (HMRC compliant), accurate Financial Schedules
• A fully compliant Tax Pack: is provided to you to enable tax revision work and filing
• Tax Benefits: HMRC typically settle claims in circa 4-6 weeks after filing

With every firm of accountants that we work closely with, we have observed some common themes that cause concerns around the R&D Tax Credit Scheme. Do any of these observations resonate with you?

• We should be offering this scheme to our clients, but we don’t know where to start
• R&D specialists only seem interested in the large claims and won’t look after my smaller clients
• We know about R&D Tax Credits, but we don’t fully understand the scheme parameters
• We require more knowledge to confidently optimise and present claims to HMRC
• We don’t have time to process the claims ourselves
• How do we know if our clients have under-claimed, or even worse over-claimed?
• From feedback, some R&D specialist firms treat my clients very poorly

Having worked closely with accountants for many years, we have designed our service and processes around working with you and your clients. This makes the claim application enjoyable, efficient and simple, while providing an excellent return on time invested to both you and your client.

A professional and tailored collaboration, with educational support for all parties, will lead to a new tax advisory, added value service to you, and excellent cashflow benefits for your clients.
