The R&D Corporation Tax Credit pre-filing notification forms in respect of section 766C and section 766D are now available on the R&D Corporation Tax Credit webpage.

For accounting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2024, a company is required to notify Revenue of its intention to file a claim under section 766C or section 766D ('pre-filing notification').

The pre-filing notification must be in writing in the form prescribed by Revenue and must be filed at least 90 days before the claim for the credit is made.

Where a company is required to submit a pre-filing notification, the pre-filing notification form should be completed and submitted through MyEnquiries, selecting the following:
