Frequently asked questions about the solution.
What is TaxTraces, concretely?
A platform that connects to your tools (Jira, GitHub, payroll, time clocks…), automatically reconstructs your R&D effort, reconciles it with payroll, and keeps the link to every piece of evidence — for a verifiable CIR/CII file.
Do I have to change my tools or habits?
No. TaxTraces connects read-only to your existing tools. Your teams keep working as before; the justification builds itself from what they already do.
Is my data secure?
Data is hosted in the European Union and processing is GDPR-compliant. Document extraction runs locally; the AI only receives labels, never your amounts.
Is TaxTraces a consulting firm?
No. It’s a fixed-price software platform. We are not paid on success and the price never depends on the amount of your tax credit.
How long to get up and running?
Connecting the first sources takes a few minutes. Reconstruction and reconciliation then run automatically; all that’s left for you is to validate.
What happens in a tax audit?
Every figure stays linked to its source and every decision is logged. You present a file that is traceable end to end, with a verifiable audit trail.
