Claim Eligibility Review Services

Determining whether your business is eligible for a specific tax relief, grant, or financial incentive can be a complex process. At My Tax Consultants, we specialise in reviewing the possibility of a claim with accuracy, clarity, and strategic insight. Whether you’re exploring R&D tax credits, capital allowances, or another HMRC-linked benefit, we provide the expert evaluation you need before making a submission.

Our approach is proactive, transparent, and fully tailored to your business’s circumstances. We know that submitting an ineligible or poorly substantiated claim can not only lead to rejection—it can also trigger penalties or compliance checks. That’s why our review process is meticulous, grounded in current legislation, and carried out by seasoned professionals with real-world HMRC experience.

Why Eligibility Review Matters

Before making any type of tax or financial claim, it’s critical to confirm whether your business meets the relevant criteria. HMRC has become increasingly rigorous about documentation, interpretation of guidance, and compliance. A well-prepared eligibility review ensures:

  • You avoid wasted time and resourceson claims that won’t qualify
  • You minimise riskof disputes or penalties
  • You maximise your entitlementby uncovering qualifying elements you may have missed
  • You build a stronger casewith full technical and financial justification

Many companies leave money on the table simply because they’re unaware of what they’re eligible for, or they file poorly constructed claims that get flagged. Our team ensures you don’t fall into either category.

Claim Review Services: What’s Included?

We provide a structured and strategic review process to evaluate your claim eligibility across a wide range of reliefs and incentives. Our services include:

  • Initial Discovery Session We begin with a comprehensive discussion to understand your business, operations, and goals. This includes a high-level review of the potential claim area—whether it’s R&D, capital expenditure, loss carrybacks, or something more niche.
  • Criteria Mapping Against HMRC Guidelines We cross-check your activities or transactions against current HMRC guidance and definitions. Our team uses detailed checklists and interpretive analysis to identify possible qualifying areas while flagging potential grey zones.
  • Documentation and Evidence Audit We assess whether you have the required technical, financial, or legal documentation to support your claim. If there are gaps, we’ll advise on how to strengthen your records before proceeding.
  • Financial Impact Analysis We model the estimated financial value of the claim to assess whether it’s worth pursuing and guide your internal planning and cashflow forecasting.
  • Risk Assessment and Recommendations You’ll receive a clear report outlining your eligibility, areas of concern, and our expert recommendation on whether you should proceed, wait, prepare, or pivot to a different relief opportunity.
