VIDEO GAMES TAX RELIEF (VGTR)
ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES
The VGTR scheme comes with strict eligibility criteria which have left many software developers wondering whether their games qualify. Qualifying spend can include design, production and testing of a game (including artwork, sound, overheads, sketches etc.) but does not include the initial conception phase or debugging.
Companies can claim both VGTR and R&D tax credits. Our team of Innovation Funding Consultants will navigate the complex eligibility criteria on your clients’ behalf to ensure they maximise returns from both tax incentive schemes.
With a diverse portfolio of more than 18,000 clients, our parent company Visiativ, accelerates innovation and digital transformation through its collaborative and business-oriented platforms. We therefore understand the role that technology can play in facilitating and enabling innovation. We also appreciate the commercial realities of bringing new products to market and the pressure you’re under to design within budget and ahead of forecast.
SOLIDWORKS is the world’s most popular 3D mechanical design software package which has significantly changed the way new products are created.
If you’re new to 3D design, are making the transition from other CAD software, or even if you’re an expert needing additional support, Innova Systems will ensure you get the most out of your investment.

We were totally stunned at the amount claimed, we really couldn’t believe it. The tax benefit has since allowed us to reinvest the money, buy new machinery and hire 2 new people. What a great result!
