  • How can you ensure your RDTI claims are fully compliant, and what level and type of documentation is necessary to substantiate your activities?
  • Under what circumstances can you include overseas R&D activities in your RDTI claim, and what specific requirements do you need to meet?
  • What categories of expenditure can be claimed under the RDTI and how do you distinguish these from ineligible expenses?
  • What are the key risks and opportunities of using AI in RDTI claims?
  • How are regulators assessing software-based RDTI claims and what do you need to demonstrate?
