About
Hi, I’m Rico Harris, Senior Manager in the R&D Tax team at Menzies LLP. With over 10 years of experience in tax, I specialise in helping businesses maximise their claims under the UK’s R&D tax credits and creative sector relief schemes. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a diverse range of clients, from innovative startups to established enterprises, helping them navigate the complexities of R&D tax relief, including those specific to the creative industries.
My expertise spans across a variety of sectors, including technology, engineering, and the creative sector, where I assist businesses in areas such as animation, game development, software production, and more. I work closely with clients to identify qualifying R&D activities, prepare detailed claims, and ensure compliance, all while securing the most beneficial outcomes from HMRC.
I’m committed to providing tailored, strategic advice that supports business growth and fosters innovation, particularly in sectors where R&D is at the heart of the business model. By staying current with the evolving tax legislation, I aim to help clients optimise their R&D tax incentives and minimise risk.
Outside of work, I’m a keen tennis enthusiast and a movie buff. Whether it’s playing on the court or watching the latest films, I believe that balancing my professional life with personal interests is essential to staying creative and focused in everything I do.
