About DR Studios:

Part of the huge Games Publisher 505 Group, DR Studios are the creators of the multi-platform smash hit games Battle Islands, Battle Ages and Battle Islands: Commanders! Now making Terraria for mobile and something else colossal.

DR Studios is a group of passionate and creative individuals who want to make games and have fun.

How we helped:

DR Studios was initially cautious about pursuing a VGTR claim and wanted to ensure they had a robust and well-presented claim that would satisfy their independent auditors and stand up to HMRC scrutiny.

After reaching out to us and establishing our extensive expertise in the UK gaming sector, we quickly went into action, managing the entire BFI application process, including the application for a specific console version of a popular existing IP.

The claim incorporated accumulated costs across multiple prior accounting periods and highly detailed analysis to ensure all expenses were correctly allocated to the satisfaction of BFI and HMRC.

Our expertise with the BFI certification process ensured the successful award of certification. 

We ensured a maximised and optimised claim value. Responded and educated the auditing accountants to ensure all internal stakeholders were satisfied that the substantial claim was robust and within the scheme's guidelines.

The reward:

DR Studios was delighted with the significant value they received from thier claim. We have since assisted with further video games tax relief claims and continue to provide strategic advice to ensure future claims remain maximised.
