Are you experiencing? ↴
Strict HMRC Scrutiny on Tech Claims
Struggling to prove true "scientific or technological advancement" under HMRC's updated guidelines for complex technology projects.
Developer & Engineer Time Drain
Forcing lead engineers, CTOs, and technical directors to spend days writing lengthy tax reports instead of focusing on innovation.
Uncertainty on Cloud & Subcontractor Costs
Confusion over which specialised datasets, and external technical sub-contractors qualify under current rules.

What qualifies for Tech R&D?
If your technical team has faced any of these challenges, you likely have an eligible R&D claim.
Custom Algorithm & AI Development
Building proprietary machine learning models, computer vision algorithms, or novel data processing architectures.
Hardware & IoT Integration
Engineering custom embedded systems, IoT sensors, firmware, or bridging physical hardware with complex backend software.
System Architecture & Low Latency
Re-architecting systems to handle unprecedented data loads, real-time synchronisation, or complex distributed networks.
Cybersecurity & Encryption
Creating bespoke security protocols, end-to-end data encryption solutions, or advanced threat-detection mechanics.

Why SeederHeights?
Tech-Fluent Specialists
We understand deep tech, cloud infrastructure, hardware, and custom software architecture. You won’t have to explain basic technical concepts to us.
100% HMRC Inquiry Defence
Every narrative is built specifically to clear HMRC’s technology scrutiny and pass compliance checks smoothly.
Maximised Cash Injection
We ensure no qualifying compute power, testing hardware, software licenses, or subcontracted engineering spend is left off your claim.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Standard web development, basic IT setups, and off-the-shelf integrations do not qualify. However, custom backend architecture, novel algorithms, complex system scaling, and hardware integration do.
We analyse your technical contractor arrangements to correctly categorise them under HMRC’s rules for UK subcontractor spend and externally provided workers.
From our initial discovery call to submitting your final claim alongside HMRC’s Additional Information Form (AIF), the average turnaround is just 14 days.
