Software
There are many technical unknowns while creating new kinds of software. Software engineers must therefore deal with these difficulties on a daily basis. The R&D tax credit program’s covered activities are examined in this article.
Examples
1
"Off the shelf" software modules
Developers will still need to integrate "off the shelf" components and add-ons into the core software, even if they are used. This endeavour consequently frequently entails technological ambiguity. This is due to the developer frequently not knowing how the components will interact. As a result, developers frequently invest a lot of time in investigating and creating solutions to make this integration function as intended.

Updates to the software
Companies frequently need to create their own solutions when there are no "off-the-shelf" options available. This will frequently require extensive design work and testing. To get the intended result after testing, more redesign is frequently required. The completed programme frequently only resembles the initial idea in passing.

Structural problems
Even if something may appear to be relatively simple at first, projects can require a lot of labour. For instance, the task cannot be completed if the system architecture does not produce the necessary data. In these situations, even straightforward initiatives may necessitate the extensive rewriting of an existing system. In other circumstances, a temporary "workaround," which can also include technological uncertainties, is required.

Incorporation
One of the major challenges that software developers confront is making sure their products work with the newest systems and technology. There are many unknowns in terms of technology when it comes to operating safely via networks and integration with third-party applications. The need for increasingly interconnected systems among consumers may present further difficulties. Despite the fact that these are independent systems, communication between them is essential.

Managing Director
They are a very personable and experienced tax staff, and I highly recommend them. They did a great job of explaining the procedure and making sure we understood the projects that qualified.

Ashley Kevin
Sr Director
We had previously worked with another organisation for R&D, but we have discovered that PHG Finance was the best because they were supportive, amiable, and professional throughout the process.

David Johnson
President, Principal
The prompt service I received from PHG has been excellent. When their technical team contacted me, they requested all the pertinent data they needed, and I was pleased with the report they provided.
