Have you claimed R&D tax credits? If not, then you can claim for the last two years. The form is easy enough to fill in. I managed to get back 50% of my CT for the last two years.Originally posted by AtW View PostSocial contract is paying taxes honestly - without using tax avoidance schemes, we follow itComment

I know a German guy who got €500k from the EU as an R&D grant. A mountain of paperwork to get the grant, he spent 5 years pissing it up the wall and then submitted 6 pages of results at the end. No questions were asked.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostYou are kidding right?Comment

OK. Well I developed a software product which I sell. I haven't had a contract for years as I have been earning my keep from the license sales from the software.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostBecause its very uncommon for IT contractors to be able to claim let alone recommend it like it's standard stuff.
What did you do for it?
You couldn't claim R&D tax credits for "Contract work" obviously. But if you've created a "Thing" then you can.
I just had to submit a narrative describing the project, the technological advancements sought, project aims, project outcomes, details of the project spend ..... obviously you need to be able to demonstrate that you've actually spent cash on your project. And of course you cannot count "dividends" as money spent on a project .... but if you are genuinely spending cash building a product then R&D tax credits are available.
I would imagine that MajesticSEO would have no problems claiming.Comment
