Made Masterclass with Cooper Parry: Let’s stop calling it R&D: the reality for manufacturers

Combining learning networking in a 45-minute online session every month, join the Made in Group team and key figures within the Made in Group community to learn about contemporary industry challenges and discuss solutions with fellow members.

Chris from Cooper Parry has over 20 years’ experience in helping companies prepare and submit R&D tax relief claims to HMRC, delivering huge benefits for business. As an engineer by background, Chris is ideally placed to explain the reality of the highly generous R&D tax relief schemes for manufacturers. In recent years, working closely with both HMRC and the Chartered Institute of Tax themselves, he has become a leading voice for the need for accreditation and integrity in the increasingly saturated claims market.

R&D Incentives Partner, Chris Knott, MIM’s R&D Patron Partner – will be discussing all things R&D. It’s been a hot topic for many years and still easy to misunderstand and either not think you qualify at all, or to underclaim due to a lack of experience of the legislation and leave valuable cash on the table. Something no members can afford to do in the current climate. So Chris will be covering some basics but with a very practical flavour as to what can be claimed in reality by manufacturers, to get their fair share of that cash, even within a tightening compliance climate by HMRC.

• Let’s stop calling it R&D – the criteria in real terms for manufacturing
• Client (MitM member) testimonials
• What’s really needed to make a claim
• HMRC’s response to a shark-filled market!

These events will also be used as your chance to learn about how you can fully utilize your Made membership.

This will entail a 15-minute presentation followed by 30 minutes of breakout discussions.
