Enforced Segregation of Duties

No single person can control a change end-to-end.

CodeROI requires distinct reviewers, testers, and approvers—ensuring accountability and reducing insider risk.

Legal-Grade Evidence

In the event of an outage, investigation, or legal review, CodeROI provides clear, defensible proof that proper controls were followed.

Ship Confidently. Stay Compliant.
Prevent audit failures before they happen-with zero added friction.

Compliance Optional But Recommended

Be aware: disabling compliance reduces audit defensibility and can limit your tax savings. If code reviews, QA, or approvals are skipped, we can’t verify the full scope of eligible R&D or Cap Labor activity.

FAQ

How does CodeROI work?

CodeROI runs quietly in the background integrating with your code repository, ticketing system, and payroll. Unlike other tools, it doesn’t rely on story points or estimates. As IRS scrutiny increased in 2025, companies can no longer depend on vague projections to claim credits. CodeROI meets these stricter standards by pulling actual data from your codebase, tracking who did the work, when, and how long it took. It then connects that to wage data to automatically determine what qualifies, giving you everything you need to maximize your savings, fully automated and fully audit-ready.

Get access to the entire CodeROI platform for roughly 15% of the tax savings we are able to get you and an average of a 45x ROI. Check out our pricing page to learn more.  

No, CodeROI is all inclusive and based on the value we help provide. Add your entire team with no license fees and enjoy access to our full suite of products.

Because these incentives don’t disappear. In the U.S., credits can carry forward for up to 20 years, building value you can use once you’re profitable. They can also be applied right now to offset payroll taxes if you have employees, lowering your burn rate today. These credits show up as assets on your balance sheet, which can increase valuation with investors and acquirers.


In Canada, credits can even be refundable—meaning the government will send you cash for eligible development work, even if you owe no taxes.


Every country has its own rules, and CodeROI handles them automatically so you don’t miss out. Claiming later is nearly impossible, so capture them now while it’s simple, automatic, and risk-free.

It is very difficult to get these savings going back in time unless you already had logged all the necessary data for financial purposes related to every code change, that can add up to millions of actionable data points.

Yes, in some cases there is a contractor eligibility cap. For example, in the U.S. the maximum percentage of eligible R&D expenses that can be claimed is 65%. But these rules differ based on country and state. Contact us to learn more about your specific use case.

Yes, however, there are limits.

R&D Tax Credits:
You can usually claim credits in the country where the work is performed. For example, in the United States, you cannot claim credits for R&D performed outside the U.S. In Canada, up to 10% of your credits can come from international work performed abroad. Beyond that, CodeROI can also help you secure credits in the country where the development occurs — so if part of your team is in India, we can help you maximize savings through India’s incentives as well.

Tax Amortization:
You can generally receive the full benefit of tax amortization in most countries—though the specific rules differ by jurisdiction.

For example, in the United States, recent tax reform allows immediate expensing of domestic R&D costs incurred after December 31, 2024, under Section 174A. However, R&D performed abroad must still be amortized over 15 years.

Each country sets its own amortization timelines. CodeROI automatically applies the correct treatment for your development location, ensuring compliance and maximizing your tax savings.

Yes, due to global competition nearly every country in the world offers tax credits and tax amortization savings to encourage innovation in their country.
