Darryl HoyTechnical Director -Radius

I joined Shorts’ Radius team, having previously worked at HM Revenue & Customs for 33 years and having performed a variety of roles over the years.

Whilst at HM Revenue & Customs, I specialised in R&D tax credits as a Tax Inspector, bringing experience and knowledge of the R&D scheme that few other providers can rival. This enables me to maximise our clients’ claims whilst preparing a robust claim that meets current HMRC guidelines.

I have extensive knowledge of HMRC enquiries and how to minimise the risk of any claim. Despite the increased levels of HMRC enquiries, I have successfully defended claims and navigated through the appeals and independent reviews process from the HMRC legal team, which are an increasingly common practice these days.

If you or another provider have submitted an R&D claim and have an HMRC enquiry, I can also help to advise on this and guide you through the process. I’ve also successfully acted on a consultancy basis for other accountants to help them defend their clients’ R&D claims.

I also specialise in Patent Box claims, a very generous tax relief that is largely underclaimed. If you hold a UK or EU patent or exclusive licence and are making profits from exploiting the IP, then I can help you save a significant amount in Corporation Tax, with profits derived from the patent taxed at 10% rather than the main rate of 25%.
