About EmpowerRD

Ensuring Claim Quality and Compliance

Recent changes in R&D tax credits, including HMRC’s stricter compliance measures, scheme reforms, and new claim processes, have significantly complicated the landscape for claimants. As a result, there has been a noticeable surge in enquiries.

In this challenging environment, EmpowerRD stands out with an exceptional 2.4% enquiry rate for 2023. This achievement sharply contrasts with HMRC’s most up-to-date statistics, revealing non-compliance rates of 14% for full claims and 38% for partial claims in 2020-2021. Our unique strategy sets us apart: an intuitive platform that conducts rigorous checks and meticulous scrutiny by our R&D experts. This dual-layered approach, blending cutting-edge technology with expert oversight, differentiates us from traditional advisors and ensures compliance in every claim.
