Client co is trying to get some tax back from HMRC by claiming the development work I have been doing is R&D.
To this end, he wants me to document the meetings which will have taken place but informally throughout 2010, so that he can also claim back the senior peoples time. Most of these would have taken the form of discussions over a cup of coffee, clientco never takes minutes on any meeting throughout the business. Thankfully I have extensive site reports for this period, so can cobble together some bullet points of things that would have been discussed.
But, the last thing I want to do is make them seem like some sort of meetings through which I was being controlled, as I wasnt, especially given they are for HMRC.
Any thoughts guys? Im not sure what to even call these pretend meetings that dont make them sound bad to my IR35 status.
