Dundee United release statement as they confirm talks with HMRC over tax claim

Dundee United clubs are in talks with HMRC over a Research and Development (R&D) tax claim.

The claim was submitted in 2021 and the Tannadice club have faced claims they may have abused the scheme to player wages partly covered.

They have now said they are co-operating with HRMC and have reassured fans it won't have any impact on 'current or future operations'.

A statement in response reads: "Dundee United Football Club can confirm that we remain in constructive dialogue with HMRC regarding a Research and Development (R&D) tax claim submitted in 2021.

"As this is an ongoing process, we are unable to comment further on the details of the matter at this time. However, the club is fully engaged in the discussions and remains confident in a satisfactory outcome of the process for both parties.

"We would like to reassure our supporters that this historical matter has no impact on the club’s current or future operations. Furthermore, the R&D initiative known as ‘The Dundee United Lab’ ceased operations in March 2023 and no longer exists in any form, with all personnel previously involved in the project no longer employed or affiliated with the club in any capacity.

"We will provide further updates if and when appropriate."
