Public Accounts Committee

Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts

9:00 am

Mr. Niall Cody:

I know, but we are talking about a small percentage. If I was looking at the research and development credit on its own, I would broadly say the numbers claiming it had stayed the same in the four-year period and that the amount claimed had increased. We have an audit programme commensurate to the risk. What happened in the earlier years was we had a higher rate of recovery, but as the years go by and our guidance develops, the problems reduce. Some of the earlier problems very much stemmed from accounting errors.
