Irish R&D Tax Review Service

A Review Service for Irish R&D Tax gives CFOs an independent, evidence based health check on their R&D tax credit position. It tests which projects have been included, how costs have been mapped, how grants have been treated and whether documentation would withstand a Revenue enquiry. The aim is simple: reduce risk, unlock missed value and bring your R&D tax credits in line with the governance standards applied to any other material tax line.

For Irish finance and tax leaders, this is no longer a “nice to have”. R&D claims are larger, scrutiny is increasing and Boards expect clear assurance that incentives are being used correctly and consistently across the group. A structured review provides that assurance without rebuilding your process from scratch or overloading internal teams.

Working with FI Group IE, your Review Service for Irish R&D Tax typically delivers:

• An independent view of technical eligibility, project selection and scope
• A reconciliation of R&D costs to the ledger, grants and CT1 filings
• A clear picture of enquiry and audit readiness, with practical actions to close gaps
• Quantified optimisation opportunities for future claims where appropriate

If your Irish R&D tax credit is now material to cash flow, audit or investor conversations, this is the point to put a formal review in place and ensure the benefit is both robust and fully optimised.
