Barnet r&d tax credits FAQs
Does my work actually qualify as R&D?
The test is whether you sought an advance in science or technology by resolving uncertainty a competent professional couldn't readily solve. Routine development doesn't qualify; genuine technical problem-solving often does. Our free eligibility review gives you a straight answer before you spend anything.
How much is a claim worth?
Under the merged scheme, broadly a 20% expenditure credit on qualifying spend — staff costs, subcontractors, software, consumables. A company with £100,000 of qualifying spend sees a benefit in the region of £15,000–£16,000 after tax.
What if HMRC opens an enquiry?
Enquiry rates have risen sharply, which is why our narratives are written to answer HMRC's questions before they're asked. If an enquiry does open, we respond on your behalf — including for claims other advisers prepared.
Do I need to visit an office in Barnet?
No — there's nothing to visit and nothing to print. We're an online firm: records go through our secure portal or WhatsApp, and everything is filed electronically. It works the same whether you're in Barnet or anywhere else in North London.
I searched "r&d claim near me" — is this service really local to Barnet?
Barnet is fully covered, yes. The work is done online, which in practice means more local than an office: same-day replies instead of appointment slots, and the same published fixed fee whether you're in Barnet town centre or the edge of North London. If you'd rather talk it through first, WhatsApp us — a real person answers.
Who will actually handle my r&d claim?
Bohzo Accountants — a trading name of Bohzo Ltd, a registered UK company (No. 15031604). You get a named contact, a fixed fee in writing, and nothing is filed until you've reviewed and approved it.
How do your fixed fees work?
You tell us your situation, we quote one fixed price in writing before any work starts, and that price never changes mid-job. If your case is unusually complex we'll say so up front and agree a different fixed price — but the fee is always agreed before we begin, never after.
Things worth knowing before your next filing
Disposing of crypto — selling, swapping one coin for another, spending it — is a capital gains event, and staking or mining income is usually income. Exchanges share data with HMRC, so the tax position exists whether or not it's been calculated.
VAT registration becomes compulsory once your taxable turnover in any rolling 12 months passes £90,000 — and "rolling" is the word that catches people, because it's not your accounting year. Businesses in Barnet growing towards that line should be watching it monthly.
Status under IR35 turns on the reality of the engagement: control, substitution, mutuality of obligation. Contracts matter, but working practices matter more. A written status assessment for each engagement is cheap insurance.
From April 2026, self-employed people and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000 move onto Making Tax Digital for Income Tax: digital records and quarterly updates to HMRC, not one annual return. The year before is the right time to get bookkeeping into shape.
Rental profits need reporting once they're more than trivial, and the rules differ for furnished holiday lets, rent-a-room and ordinary lets. Landlords are also in the first wave of Making Tax Digital — property income counts towards the £50,000 threshold.
Incorporation isn't a milestone, it's a calculation: corporation tax versus income tax and NICs, dividend taxation, what you need to draw versus what can stay in the company, and whether limited liability matters for your work. For some Barnet businesses it saves thousands; for others it's pure extra paperwork.
The trading allowance means up to £1,000 of gross side income per year can be tax-free with no return needed. Above that, registration and reporting kick in — and platforms now report seller data to HMRC, so "under the radar" isn't a strategy any more.
The best time to switch is after a filing, but it works at any point in the year. What matters is not letting a looming deadline stop you: a new firm can usually pick up an in-flight year faster than you'd think.
General guidance, not personal advice — thresholds and dates change. For advice on your own position in Barnet, message us and we'll answer against your actual numbers.
