Specialized advisory on incentives, tax, intellectual property, project costs and financial reporting for software, technology, R&D and engineering-focused companies.
Industry risks
Key areas of risk
We assess tax, audit, social security and operational compliance in the context of your industry.
R&D and incentive implementation risk
In R&D, design, technology development zone, investment incentive and support programs, improper management of project scope, expenditure types, employee time and documentation may create incentive risks.
Software revenue and tax classification
The tax classification of licensing, subscriptions, SaaS, maintenance, development, advisory and overseas service revenue has implications for VAT, withholding tax and corporate income tax.
Intellectual property and transfer pricing
Arm’s length and documentation risks may arise in intragroup software development, licensing, know-how sharing and intellectual property use.
Project cost and revenue recognition risk
Cost capitalization, periodic revenue recognition, percentage of completion and warranty obligations affect financial reporting in long-term engineering and technology projects.
International services and digital business model compliance
Overseas customers, remote service delivery, platform revenue, data center use and digital service models require international tax and VAT assessments.
Common needs
The needs businesses encounter
R&D, technology development zone and incentive advisory
Project scope, expenditure classification, employee time tracking, support applications and exemption practices must be structured in compliance with regulations.
Tax models and contract analysis
VAT, withholding tax, corporate income tax and international tax implications of licensing, subscription, service, maintenance, development and overseas sales contracts should be analyzed.
Transfer pricing and intragroup transactions
Arm’s length policies and documentation are required for software development, support, licensing, cost sharing and management services between group companies.
Financial reporting and project accounting
Project costs, capitalization, depreciation and amortization, revenue recognition, deferred revenue and provisions must be monitored in accordance with applicable standards.
Internal controls and scaling readiness
In fast-growing technology companies, procurement, human resources, project management, invoicing, collections and reporting processes should be supported by internal controls.
