Award in R&D Tax Relief Essentials
The ATT have partnered with The R&D Community to offer a dedicated online qualification in R&D tax relief.
Designed for those working in tax who want to learn more about R&D relief, this concise, practically focused, qualification is delivered and assessed entirely online.
Working through the course at your own pace, you’ll obtain a clear overview of the R&D relief schemes, how they work, who can claim, and how they are administered by HMRC.
Total fees including registration and resources are £670 + VAT.
The award is pitched at an introductory level, and is ideal if you are not an R&D specialist but would like to understand more about the rules. It will enable you to have better informed conversations with your clients about R&D tax relief, as well as spot potential risks and opportunities.
No prior knowledge of R&D tax relief is required, but a decent grasp of the basic corporation tax rules will be assumed.
By completing the award you’ll learn about:
- The basic concepts of R&D tax relief
- How the merged and enhanced R&D intensive (ERIS) schemes work
- The claims process
- How to put your learning into practice
- Key documentation and sources of guidance
The award is delivered and examined entirely online. Training is via a combination of short, digestible, videos and required reading, with multiple-choice quizzes to check your knowledge as you go.
You’ll also receive a 30 minute call with an R&D expert to discuss any questions you may have about the content and how to apply it in practice.
As content is available on-demand and can be worked through at your own pace, it can fit around any other commitments you may have.
The award does not provide any exemptions for the ATT examinations.
