As far as I can tell this accountant is spreading misinformation. (I've never written that before!) I've talked to other companies doing nothing related to novel research, just standard SaaS, who were able to get a healthy sized deduction. Please don't let this person dissuade you from checking if you can get the credit. To the accountant - please see all the comments below yours and edit your post, unless you have evidence against them. Your comment may well make people not apply for this who could've gotten the deduction without issue.
