Is your company spending money on developing internal IT systems to make your business more time-efficient. Perhaps you are developing your internal databases or developing a new customer interface? Money spent on developing process improvements within your business may qualify for R&D tax credits as long as the process improvements are bespoke and innovative.

Claiming R&D tax credits on this type of process improvement is a win-win situation – you get an improved system leading to greater efficiencies and a better customer experience and if you claim R&D tax credits then this process improvement can be partly subsidised by HMRC!

We have just had a very successful claim for a company improving their database systems in the human resources sector. Their process improvements are helping to support their growth and give them a competitive advantage in the market they serve.

Does this sound like something you are doing? Why not get in touch and see if you can make an R&D tax credits claim.
