Rely on accountants who are clued up on technology company’s and start-up’s needs and can help you navigate various business challenges. There has never been a better time to launch a tech start-up.

Technology companies and in particular tech company start-ups have become an important part of London’s strategy for economic diversification and growth, with many of them growing into successful brands. Technology has transformed how we live, work, and connect with others, and will continue to link us to more valuable services and opportunities. Technology business people and entrepreneurs know this, as they aim to launch more disruptive and innovative projects to shake things up.

To achieve great success, many tech start-ups need to operate efficiently and be ready to scale-up swiftly, all supported by the right people and systems in place. Entrepreneurs know that it is crucial to have a like-minded chartered accountant working with them, making sure that the business has the financial resources to scale, along with meeting various business challenges. This is where Tax Agility can help – our team of London chartered accountants bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to tech start-ups and the technology business sector in general.

Specialist technology companies and tech start-ups, need a specialist accountant

Whether your tech firm is an established business and growing or just starting out, Tax Agility can help.

If you are just starting out, you’ll need an accountant by your side that understands the uniqueness that your business brings to its market, so that you can plan for growth in the most efficient manner. We’ll help you get your finances in order, make use of available grants or tax initiatives, such as the R&D Tax Credits scheme, and generally advise you of potential pitfalls and opportunities as your business plan progresses. We’ll be by your side for the whole journey if need be.

More established businesses typically face different issues, whether how to grow or diversify, to cash flow issues due to supply chain payment problems. Also, as an established tech business, your tax reporting and tax efficiency considerations maybe different to other firms, especially if your business sells into the EU or sources resources from overseas. These can be highly complex areas, especially in a post Brexit world. We stand ready to assist you.

Research & Development

The majority of tech companies will spend on Research & Development (R&D) at some stage of the start-up life, and the good news is HMRC is very generous with tax reliefs relating to R&D, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) R&D Relief

This is applicable to companies which have:

  • Less than 500 staff
  • A turnover of under 100 million euros or a balance sheet total under 86 million euros

The SME R&D relief allows companies to deduct an extra 130% of their qualifying costs from their yearly profit, as well as the normal 100% deduction, to make a total 230% deduction. In addition, your company can also claim a tax credit if it is making losses, worth up for 14.5% of the surrenderable loss.

Our team can help you work out what you can claim, and your eligibility after including the figures from connected companies and partner companies. If your start-up isn’t qualified, we will help you explore other types of R&D relief.

Patent Box

Designed to encourage companies to keep and commercialise intellectual property in the UK, the Patent Box can reduce your corporate tax rate on the proportion of profits derived from:

  • Selling patented products including products incorporating the patented invention and bespoke spare parts
  • Licensing out patent rights
  • Selling patented rights
  • Infringement income
  • Damages, insurance or other compensation related to patent rights

Call 020 8108 0090 to find out more about R&D reliefs and the Patent Box.
