Frequently asked questions
How much does an R&D tax credit legal pack cost in Ireland?
The price of this self-complete template is shown at the top of this page. You pay once and there are no further charges from us. The price covers the template and guidance notes only — it does not include legal advice or review by a solicitor.
Do I still need a tax adviser?
Yes. The pack deals with the legal documentation. The claim itself and its calculation should be handled with a tax adviser.
Why do legal documents matter for R&D claims?
Contracts with employees, subcontractors and group companies can affect who owns the IP and who can claim. Clear documents support the claim.
