Technology & Software

Due to the nature of the work, Technology & Software projects often qualify for R&D tax relief. We can advise you on exactly what you can claim for. Common examples of eligible work include:

• Developing innovative data management processes and storage structures, including tools that appreciably improve upon database software and operating systems or architecture style;
• Developing novel software integrated with new computer hardware types within, for example, robotics or Internet of Things interoperability;
• Researching or progressive work in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning and deep data analytics;
• Appreciably extending the functionalities of existing applications or systems, including where new technologies interface with legacy platforms;
• Building underlying technologies expanding the utilisation and application of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR);
• Cutting edge innovation in the fields of quantum computing and decentralised technologies like blockchain, including where applied in building future-ready cyber security or financial systems;
• Developing processes that meet increasing regulatory requirements;
• Attempting to integrate various platforms which are not standard or routine; and
• Testing and prototyping processes or products.
