Contact usThe Innovation Tax Credit (CII) is a French tax scheme that lets SMEs recover up to 20% of the spend committed to innovative software or solution design projects. If you invest 50,000€ in an eligible project, you recover 10,000€ as a tax credit. It is not a grant you have to request in advance: it is a direct reduction on your corporate income tax, declared with your accountant.
A software development project is eligible for the CII if it carries an innovative dimension: a custom business tool, a technological MVP, AI integration or a solution with no equivalent on the market. Fragments Studio is CII-accredited, which directly simplifies the CII eligibility of your spend with us. Use our simulator to estimate your tax benefit in a few minutes.
To claim the innovation tax credit, you need to work with an accredited provider and build a technical application documenting the innovation work. With Fragments Studio, we handle all of this documentation. You then hand the application to your accountant, who integrates it into your tax return. The administrative load on your side is minimal.
No. The software development project runs exactly like a standard project: same steps, same quality, same deadlines. The CII accreditation of Fragments Studio is a parallel administrative layer, with no impact on how we work together. The only concrete effect for you: your project costs you less at the close of the financial year.
Because it represents up to 20% savings on your investment. A non-accredited agency forces you to qualify your spend yourself, which is complex and often rejected by the tax authorities. With Fragments Studio, the accreditation is in place: the documentation is handled for you and you maximize your chances of obtaining the innovation tax credit without friction.
