Key challenges facing Software companies

Software companies face pressure to control development costs, protect margins and fund investment in better platforms, systems and intellectual property.

These pressures can create tax relief opportunities when costs relate to qualifying R&D work, software development activity or patented technology.

Common challenges include:

Development work requiring architecture changes, technical testing or repeated build iterations
Platform performance, scalability, security or integration issues that standard development methods cannot resolve
High staff and contractor costs linked to software engineering, testing and technical problem-solving

R&D Tax Credits can help software companies recover part of their qualifying development costs, improve cash flow and fund further technical work. Patent Box can reduce Corporation Tax on profits linked to qualifying patented technology.

We connect your development activity, costs and intellectual property to the relevant reliefs, then prepare the calculations and evidence needed for submission.

R&D Tax Credits

Innovation

R&D Tax Credits help software companies recover part of the cost of technical development work, including projects involving architecture changes, system performance, integrations, security work or algorithm development.

A valid claim may reduce Corporation Tax or generate a payable credit, depending on the scheme and company position.

Claim up to 26.97% of qualifying R&D spend We assess which R&D scheme applies to your company, then calculate the claim value under the correct rules.
Project eligibility reviewWe assess technical uncertainty in architecture changes, system performance, integrations, security work and algorithm development to identify qualifying R&D activities and separate them from standard software development.
Eligible expenditure calculationWe calculate eligible staff, external specialists, software, data and cloud computing costs directly linked to the R&D project.
Evidence and claim preparationWe prepare the technical explanation, cost schedule and supporting documents required for the claim submission.

Patent Box helps software companies reduce Corporation Tax on profits linked to qualifying patented technology.

The relief is relevant when your company owns or exclusively licenses a qualifying patent and earns income from software, systems, algorithms or technical inventions covered by that patent.

Reduce Corporation Tax on patented profitsPatent Box can reduce the Corporation Tax rate to 10% on profits linked to qualifying patents.
Patent ownership and licence reviewWe review whether your company owns or exclusively licenses the patent rights needed to make a claim.
Development condition assessmentWe assess whether your company contributed to the development of the patented technology or qualifying software-related invention.
Patent Box calculation and claim support We calculate the qualifying patented profit and prepare the claim position for submission.

Capital Allowances

Capital Allowances

Software businesses can invest significantly in offices, specialist facilities, fitouts and the infrastructure supporting their operations. Capital Allowances can provide tax relief on qualifying expenditure within these properties. We review capital expenditure associated with buildings, fitouts and supporting infrastructure to identify qualifying plant, fixtures and integral features that may not have been fully recognised through standard accounting processes.

Office Infrastructure & Integral FeaturesWe identify qualifying expenditure within offices and operational premises, including electrical installations, heating and cooling, ventilation, lighting, security, cabling and other integral features.
New Premises & FitoutsWhether you're moving into new premises, developing additional space or fitting out an existing facility, we review project expenditure to identify qualifying Capital Allowances.
Retrospective Investment ReviewsPrevious investment in offices, facilities and refurbishments may contain allowances that were not fully identified or claimed. We can review historic property expenditure to identify potential opportunities.
Claim Preparation & SupportWe analyse and categorise qualifying expenditure, calculate the available allowances and provide the supporting information required for your tax computations and Corporation Tax return.

R&D tax relief specialist support for Software companies

At Bonham & Brook, software R&D claims are led by dedicated R&D specialists who understand how technical development appears in software development environments.

Our specialists work with developers, technical leads, product teams, DevOps teams and finance teams to review platform architecture, system performance, security work, integrations and algorithm development.

We use project team input, technical records and financial data to prepare a claim that explains the technical uncertainty, defines the qualifying activity and links supporting costs to the activity being claimed.

R&D costs that can be claimed

The cost areas below are commonly reviewed in software R&D claims. Whether they qualify depends on the project activity, the technical uncertainty involved, the company’s role in the work and the evidence linking each cost to the qualifying R&D activity.

As part of our review, we assess your project costs, identify eligible expenditure and confirm what can be included before preparing the claim.

External specialist and technical consultancy costs

External specialist and technical consultancy costs can be included when they support technical investigation, analysis, prototyping or validation during development work. In software, this may include specialist input on cloud architecture, security testing, algorithm development, data engineering, complex system integration, proof-of-concept validation, or specialist testing of a technical approach.

Developers, architects and technical staff time

Developer, architects and technical staff time can be included in an R&D claim when it relates to qualifying technical work. In software, this may include developers resolving performance issues, architects redesigning platform architecture, DevOps teams testing deployment constraints, QA specialists validating technical solutions, and security engineers resolving security vulnerabilities.

Software, data and cloud computing costs

Software licences, data licences and cloud computing costs can be included when they are used for design, modelling, testing or analysis during development work. In software, this may include cloud computing used to run test workloads, sandbox environments, data processing tools used to validate technical approaches, API testing tools, automated testing frameworks, load testing environments, and performance monitoring systems used during R&D.

The Challenge

Haulmont historically assumed R&D tax relief was not worthwhile for them due to complexities in their company’s structure. Bonham & Brook approached Haulmont directly, showing how there were practical workarounds and opportunities being missed. The client needed a specialist partner who could guide them through the process, and understand the technicalities of software development.

The Solution

The client highlights the quality of Bonham & Brook’s submission, standing out in comparison with two other advisors. Offering:

Technical expertise in software development and R&D tax criteria.
Competitive, fair pricing
In-house HMRC expertise

Impact & Results

The tax relief secured from the successful claims has enabled the client to confidently invest in new product development, with several projects already in progress. The process saved valuable internal time and reduced stress, allowing the client to focus on their own business priorities.

“When we spoke with B&B’s technical team, it was clear they understood our industry and language. That saved us huge amounts of time and gave us confidence in the process.”

Paul Lacey, Managing Director, Haulmont Tech

Why Bonham & Brook?

B&B’s approached Hualmont. During initial conversations B&B managed to demonstrate the hidden value in their tech, and that the opportunity was worth investing in. B&B’s internal HMRC expertise ensured their complex projects would be presented correctly to HMRC, minimising risk and most importantly the time burden on the client.

“If you want a hassle-free partner that takes the heavy lifting off your shoulders, go with B&B.”

Working with Bonham & Brook

The client valued B&B’s:

Knowledgable technical consultants who understood their projects from the get-go.
Seemless processes
Attentive account managers.
Respect for workload pressures, reducing stress.

Looking Ahead

Haulmont has been working with Bonham & Brook for a number of years and plans to continue partnering with us to support ongoing innovation and future projects.

Bonham & Brook has a score of 4.8/5 on Trustpilot.

The Challenge

In developing new software solutions, comes intensive investment. With limited internal capacity & experience with the R&D claim process, Verelogic were unsure what qualified as eligible activity. Other advisors failed to provide enough confidence in their ability to deliver a successful claim, lacking the required technical insight. Verelogic was not looking to claim for R&D until they found a more capable partner.

The Solution

Bonham & Brook provided an end-to-end service, streamlining the claim process including:

Technical & Compliance expertise, ensuring submissions could hold up to scrutiny.
Comprehensive documentation and a proactive approach that kept the process hassle-free for the client.
Technical interviews that translated the clients work into HMRC ready claims

Impact & Results

With our support, the client successfully submitted multiple claims, with no HMRC queries, enabling them to reinvest into product development. They now have a clear framework for identifying qualifying R&D and planning future claims with confidence.

"B&B took what could have been complicated and made it simple. They understand your business, your tech, and how to best position it in a compliant, strategic way. There’s really no downside.”

Mark Anger, Chief Operating Officer, Verelogic Ltd
