FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can't find what you're looking for? Our team is always happy to have a no-obligation conversation.
Can software development qualify for R&D tax credits?
Yes, when you're genuinely advancing software engineering rather than just applying existing technology. We help founders articulate the qualifying work in language HMRC accepts, and we submit hundreds of tech-sector R&D claims each year.
How do we account for SaaS revenue correctly?
SaaS revenue must be recognised over the contract period, not on receipt. We set up deferred revenue accounting in Xero or your chosen system so your management accounts reflect the actual economic position, not just cash received.
What's Patent Box and does it apply to our software?
Patent Box allows qualifying patent-derived income to be taxed at 10% instead of the standard corporation tax rate. For software businesses with patented core tech, it can be transformational. We run the analysis and handle the election.
Can you help with UK expansion for an overseas tech company?
Yes. We handle UK subsidiary setup, PAYE registration, VAT registration, transfer pricing documentation and ongoing compliance for overseas tech companies opening UK operations.
Do you work with AI and deep tech startups?
Yes. AI, machine learning, cybersecurity and hardware-software hybrid products typically have very strong R&D claims and we have direct experience across all of them.
