That’s why I went with the firm I did, they have a 100% record of defending reclaims and do it as part of the original fee.

100% defence as they won’t put through anything dubious.

I’ve left Velstar now but we had no issues on 4 claims with the last one over 6 figs.

Good stuff, when I sold Velstar I specifically cited any R&D clawback wouldn’t sit with me ;-)

Thread revival as I can't find the answer after a search:

Do these R&D refund companies always charge a percentage of the 130% enhanced amount, or do some charge on the original costs plus the 130%, so a percentage of 230% in total!

I have an accountant trying to charge that and it doesn't seem right to me.
Straight cut of the money claimed - don’t use an accountant they don’t know as much as a specialist

I wish they weren't using an accountant, but too late to change this year, I will next year!
Speaking as an accountant, I agree with DSL. It's a big risk unless they do this day in/day out. I can put you in touch with an R&D firm who will review the claim for you if you want.
I used Layton - possibly Leyton. My now sold company still use them now.

Thread bump as the subject is in the news today:

Exactly the same issued we suffered back on 2018/19... pay now, check the claim later.
That’s why I always used Leyton who promised to defend any future challenge.
