In the UK, R&D tax relief remains one of the most generous incentives for businesses pushing the boundaries of science or technology - but claiming it has never been trickier.
Whether you’re a CTO, founder, or financial lead, you’ve probably heard the horror stories: claims rejected due to vague narratives, audits triggered by poor terminology, or entire submissions dismissed for failing to meet HMRC’s evolving standards. In short, the bar has been raised.
That’s why we’ve built something to help:
A GPT trained specifically to write and review UK R&D tax relief claims - using HMRC’s own definitions.
🧠 Built for Compliance, Not Guesswork
This GPT isn’t another chatbot. It’s trained on the latest guidance from HMRC, DSIT, and CIRD81910, with detailed safeguards:
Avoids “red flag” words that can sink your claim (like “bespoke” or “cutting edge”).
Focuses on technological uncertainty and scientific advance, not marketing fluff.
Knows what counts - and what doesn’t - in software claims, including apportionments and excluded activities.
Recognises qualifying indirect activities (like technical planning or data prep).
Includes a built-in HMRC-compliant report template for easy download and use.
⚙️ How to Use It
Head to ChatGPT and start with any of these:
“Review this R&D project for eligibility”
“Rewrite my narrative to meet HMRC standards”
“Generate a full technical report using your template”
“Which parts of this software build qualify as R&D?”
Whether you’re preparing a claim, reviewing one, or just validating a client’s draft, this tool acts like an on-demand R&D tax specialist.
✅ No More Guessing
Too many claims fail because they rely on guesswork, fluff, or over-claiming.
This GPT keeps you aligned with what HMRC actually expects — in their words, not your assumptions.
It’s free to use. And it’s open to anyone who wants to write smarter, safer R&D submissions.
