Pre-notification for R&D tax claims: A recap ahead of the March 2026 deadlines – 11 March 2026

Описание: Nearly three years after the introduction of the Claim Notification Form (CNF), pre-notification continues to cause confusion for accountants and advisers.

While the core rules are established, and firms preparing claims will be familiar with the “known knowns”, in practice, it's the “unknown unknowns” that cause issues – where seemingly straightforward cases can turn out to require pre-notification after all. And, if the deadline is missed, a claim cannot proceed even where the R&D activity is eligible.

With the March 2026 deadlines approaching, this session will revisit the rules and explore scenarios where firms could get caught out.

We covered:
*When and why pre-notification is required
*CNF rules: the details and the grey areas
*Common causes for missed claims
*Steps to stay compliant and confident
*Live Q&A (unfortunately we had to abandon the Q&A due to technical issues)

Pre-notification is now a routine part of the claims process, so whether you handle R&D claims regularly or only occasionally, this session aims to help you approach it with greater confidence.
