For accountants & tax advisors

Add R&D tax credits to your practice

Your software clients are sitting on unclaimed R&D credits. CodeClaim handles the technical heavy lifting so you can offer a new revenue stream without hiring specialists.

Client workspaces

Invite clients to connect their GitHub. Each client gets their own workspace with separate repos and reports.

Automated feature analysis

AI classifies every commit against HMRC R&D criteria. No need to interview developers or interpret technical work yourself.

Time allocation from git data

Staff R&D time percentages are derived directly from commit activity, not guesswork. Defensible figures backed by real data.

AIF-ready narratives

Technical narratives and project summaries structured for the HMRC Additional Information Form, ready to attach to the CT600.

Cost allocation helper

Clients enter staff costs and subcontractor fees. CodeClaim allocates spend to qualifying features and picks the optimal scheme.

Client approval workflow

Send reports to clients for review and sign-off before submission. Full audit trail for every claim.

Start onboarding clients

Enterprise plan from £119/mo. 25 client workspaces included.

Fintech scaleup

8 developers

Merged RDEC

ML-driven fraud detection pipeline

Designed an ensemble model combining graph analysis with real-time transaction scoring. Technological uncertainty centred on achieving <50ms inference time while maintaining >95% precision.

Event-driven data mesh

£85,000

Architected a distributed event processing system to replace batch ETL, resolving uncertainty about exactly-once delivery guarantees across multiple failure domains.

End-to-end encryption protocol

£45,000

Developed a custom E2E encryption layer for sensitive financial data in transit and at rest, where technological uncertainty centred on maintaining sub-5ms encryption overhead without compromising key-rotation under concurrent connections.

Merged RDEC

Automated accessibility testing framework

£68,000

Created a novel DOM analysis engine that programmatically identifies WCAG violations beyond existing tooling, resolving uncertainty around false-positive rates in dynamic SPAs.

Cross-platform rendering engine

£92,000

Developed a unified rendering pipeline targeting web, iOS, and Android from a single component tree, where it was not deducible whether layout fidelity could be maintained across platforms.

Zero-downtime database migration tool

£55,000

Built a live schema migration system for PostgreSQL that applies DDL changes without locking tables, overcoming uncertainty around data integrity during concurrent writes.

AI-assisted code review system

£85,000

Trained a fine-tuned model on internal coding standards to detect architectural anti-patterns, advancing beyond existing static analysis capabilities.

Enhanced ERIS

FHIR-compliant data pipeline

£58,000

Built a real-time HL7 FHIR ingestion layer that normalises disparate NHS data formats, where it was not readily deducible how to reconcile conflicting coding systems without data loss.

Differential privacy engine

£44,000

Developed a privacy-preserving analytics system that applies calibrated noise to patient-level queries while maintaining statistical utility for clinical dashboards.

What you spent on R&D£102,000
What you get back~27% via Enhanced ERIS
£27,500

Figures are illustrative. Merged RDEC gives ~15% net benefit; Enhanced ERIS gives ~27% for loss-making, R&D-intensive SMEs. Qualifying expenditure includes developer salaries, employer NIC, pension contributions, subcontractor and cloud computing costs. Accounting periods from 1 April 2024.

CodeClaim is a report generation tool only. We do not guarantee R&D tax credit eligibility or claim outcomes. All reports must be reviewed by a qualified tax adviser before submission to HMRC. Terms of Service

Claim with confidence, not guesswork

Some companies under-claim because they fear HMRC scrutiny. Others over-claim and face enquiries. CodeClaim removes the guesswork by assessing every feature against HMRC's published R&D criteria, so you claim exactly what you are entitled to.

Every feature scored against HMRC criteria

Each feature is assessed for technological uncertainty, advance in the field, and systematic approach. You see exactly why something qualifies, or why it does not.

You control the threshold

Set your own eligibility threshold and review every feature before it goes into your report. Nothing is included without your explicit approval.

Defensible if HMRC enquire

Reports include the technical narrative, commit evidence, and five-question assessment that HMRC expects. Your claim is backed by contemporaneous development data, not retrospective guesswork.

Your code stays secure

Security is not an afterthought. It is how we built CodeClaim.

Read-only access

We only request read-only GitHub access to your commit history and metadata. Nothing is written to your repos and no data is persisted beyond your analysis.

Analysed in flight, never stored

Your code is analysed in real time and never persisted. All connections are encrypted and data is discarded after processing.

HMRC-compliant

Reports are structured to meet HMRC Additional Information Form requirements, giving you confidence in every submission.
