Tax credits
Get more back with tax credits
Tax credits can reduce the real cost of your projects, but they require a clear reading of expenses, criteria, and documentation. helloDarwin helps you understand your potential and prepare a strong claim.
What is a tax credit?
Tax credits allow businesses to recover a portion of certain eligible expenses. Unlike grants, they are often tied to costs that have already been incurred or are planned.
Recoverable expenses
Identify the salaries, purchases, projects, and investments that can generate tax savings year after year.
Tax refund or tax credit
Some credits can be refunded, while others reduce the amount of tax you owe, depending on your circumstances.
Evidence and compliance
Claims must be supported by detailed technical and financial documentation; otherwise, they may be rejected during the audit.
Why get started before the end of the year?
Best returns are planned in advance
The earlier you document your projects, the easier it is to justify your expenses and maximize your claim.
Evolving criteria
Eligibility criteria and rates vary from year to year. It’s important to stay informed so you don’t miss out.
Minimize the risk of rejection
Tax authorities regularly review claims. An inadequately documented claim may result in a complete denial.

How do tax credits help reduce project costs?
Tax credits can reduce taxes payable or generate refundable amounts when eligible expenses are documented properly. They are especially important for salaries, R&D, training, digital work, investment, and other recurring business activities.
Which expenses should be reviewed for tax credits?
Review payroll, subcontractors, equipment, software, training, technical work, fiscal-year timing, and any expenses tied to programs with refundable or non-refundable credit rules.
Why should tax credits be planned before year-end?
Many credits depend on fiscal-year expenses and supporting records. Planning early helps isolate costs, collect evidence as the work happens, and avoid discovering missing documentation after the deadline.
How does helloDarwin support tax-credit files?
helloDarwin helps identify relevant credits, review eligibility, organize expenses, clarify documentation, and coordinate the file so the claim is tied to the right activities and fiscal period.
