R and D

[VectraMan]

Yep, R&D tax credits are good politics, but not actually much use at ground level for SMEs.

I looked into it before, and came to that conclusion. However at previous Permie Co. we ended up in a big argument with an accountant type adamant that the software we were developing (with the intent of selling to a particular customer) did count as R&D, and me saying that clearly it doesn't. Until that is I realised I didn't care that much and it wasn't my problem.
