How to make a successful VGTR claim
To be eligible for Video Games Tax Relief, your company must be responsible for the majority of the planning, designing, developing, testing and producing of a game.
This company will be called the Video Games Development Company (VGDC).
At least 25% of your eligible costs must be incurred in the European Economic Area.
If two or more companies are working on the same game, only one may claim for VGTR.
Therefore it’s important to establish which company is the Video Games Development Company (VGDC) and will be making the claim.

What does it cost and what’s involved?
We provide a complete Video Games Tax Relief service, which includes completion of all of the steps set here.
We will have a meeting to understand your business and your VGTR claim to enable us to prepare a successful claim. We will discuss how we would work with you, what will be involved and agree our fees for making a successful claim.
To submit a VGTR claim we need to submit an application to the BFI called an interim certification, this takes up to six weeks to receive.
We’ll prepare a technical document explaining about your claim and your Video Game and prepare tax schedules required.
We will submit the tax return with the interim certification and liaise with HMRC in case they have any questions.
If a VGTR rebate is due, you should receive a payment from HMRC approximately 60 days after the claim has been submitted.What makes us different

Great firm. With been with them for over 3 years now, since the day we created the Company. Throughout they’ve been amazing.
I approached Metric to help us set up our first business. As a start-up it’s difficult to know what to do, where to go and who to trust. Years later, we are still using Metric and class them as an integral part of our business. They are a trusted adviser and I would highly recommend their services.
Metric Accountants has been supporting the Company for the past few years. The team is very competent and understands the requirements of a tech business well. They will take all the SEIS/EIS/VAT/R&D/accounts issues off your mind so that you can focus on running your own business. They are also just lovely people to work with. I could not recommend more.
Excellent, helpful, friendly and professional with competitive fees. Would highly recommend!
Metric are fabulous business partners. They are a true extension of the team. Beyond a great service, they are true advisors.
Metric Accountants have supported us from the founding of our company, helping us through several years of growth. They’re always available at the end of the phone and represent really excellent value for money. Choosing Metric was one of the best decisions I made!
