	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2022 answer text 2020-21 is the second financial year where an estimate of the error and fraud in relation to the Research and Development (R&D) regime has been included in the HMRC annual report and accounts. The overall estimate of the level of error and fraud is 3.6 per cent of the estimated cost of the reliefs. Within this, 5.5 per cent relates to the Small and Medium Enterprises scheme and 0.9 per cent relates to the Research and Development expenditure credit scheme. The estimate is based on historic claim data, compliance results, and Tax Gaps, and by its nature is uncertain. This estimate does not differentiate between error and fraud and covers a wide range of non-compliant behaviours. answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 10/03/2022 15:02:11 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
