Maximize your tax credits
A tax credit lets your business recover part of certain expenses. To maximize the return, identify eligible costs, understand the applicable credits, and keep solid documentation.
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.

Frequently asked questions

Need help deciding what applies to your business? Talk to an expert and get a clearer next step.

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.

How does helloDarwin know which tax credits apply to my business?

helloDarwin reviews your activities, expenses, industry, location, fiscal year, and project history to identify credits that may fit your situation. The goal is to focus on credits that match real expenses and documentation, rather than reviewing programs that are unlikely to apply.

Can tax credits be combined with grants or other funding?

Sometimes, but the interaction needs to be reviewed carefully. Grants, subsidies, and other public funding can affect eligible expenses or the final credit amount. helloDarwin helps assess how each funding source should be treated so the file remains accurate and compliant.

What happens if a tax-credit claim is reviewed or audited?

Tax authorities may ask for financial records, project documentation, proof of expenses, payroll details, technical evidence, or explanations linking the claim to eligible activities. A stronger file is prepared with review in mind, not only submission.

Does helloDarwin help with both the financial and documentation side of tax credits?

Yes. helloDarwin helps connect the financial data, eligible expenses, project context, and required documentation so the claim is easier to understand and support. The work is not just about finding a credit; it is about preparing a file that can stand up to review.
