Identify the purchased asset

Ask the supplier to describe the software, its function and the Annex V category it falls under. A generic quote for a digital project does not allow this check.

Describe the interconnection

List the systems the asset exchanges data with and the processes it supports. For example, describe how an order enters the system and where its status is returned. Agree with the supplier which records to keep to document the intended connection.

Calculate the tax effect

The incentive reduces taxable income through a larger deduction. Have its effect calculated within the company’s tax plan, separately from the cash needed to purchase and implement the asset.

Prepare the communications

MIMIT directs applicants to the GSE platform. Assign someone to check the sequence of booking, confirmation and completion communications.

Separate project costs

Keep software, integrations, services and content itemised. This helps identify eligible purchases and schedule the work the company funds directly with the studio.

Have the asset category, systems to connect and planned delivery tests attached to the estimate.
