At Tax Cloud, we prioritise the security and protection of our clients' sensitive data in full compliance with UK data protection laws. We have implemented robust security measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data entrusted to us. Here are some key security measures we have in place:

Encryption at Rest: All client data is encrypted when it is not actively being used. This means that even if the data is stored, it remains encrypted, providing an additional layer of protection.

Transport Layer Security (TLS): When client data is in transit, we utilise industry-accredited TLS 1.2+ security protocols. This ensures that data transmitted between our systems and clients' devices is encrypted and secure.

Redundancy and Backup: We employ various redundancy and backup storage tools, all of which are backed by Microsoft's service level agreements (SLAs).

Azure SQL Firewalls and Rules: Our virtualised SQL databases utilise Azure SQL firewalls and rules, providing an additional layer of protection against unauthorised access.

In addition to these measures, we adhere to Microsoft's best practices for data encryption, data protection, and infrastructure security. For a more detailed understanding of our approach to data security, please refer to our Privacy Policy, which can be found at https://www.taxcloud.co.uk/privacy-policy

The Tax Cloud platform enables you to offer an R&D tax relief service. You will have direct access to the Tax Cloud team, which consists of leading technical, tax and costing experts. Ultimately Tax Cloud is designed to help you attract new clients, grow your practice and boost revenue.

You don’t need to know, as our technologists will either undertake a discovery session with your client or they can simply provide high-level project information directly onto the platform for our experts to review. The key is that the company must be undertaking development activities that seek to achieve an advancement in technology. The project must contain a level of technical uncertainty for a competent professional, so if your client has been through some ‘head-scratching’ moments to find a solution, that’s a good indication that they qualify for R&D tax relief. If you’re unsure, simply call us or ask your client to add the top-level project information to Tax Cloud. As a Tax Cloud partner, we are here to provide expert advice and guidance at no additional cost.

Sure, simply fill out our contact form and we’ll be in touch to discuss your specific requirements.
