How we helped: 

Full Fat contacted us because they had been advised they would not qualify for Video Games Tax Relief (VGTR) and wanted a second opinion. Upon reviewing their projects, we quickly established they would be eligible. 

We worked closely with the team at Full Fat and identified all the qualifying games. We then managed the BFI certificate application process for multiple games from start to receipt of certificate, including preparing the detailed cost reports for each game to report the costs per trade.  

Once their certificates were received, we completed the detailed tax calculation work, including reporting the separated trades, and ensured that an optimised and robust claim was presented to HMRC.  

The reward: 

Our collaborative approach provided Full Fat with the tools to streamline its information-gathering process, ensuring future claims could be assembled efficiently. 

Since our partnership began, Full Fat has successfully made multiple claims for VGTR, resulting in significant additional funding for the business.
