R&D Time Tracking Software for Tax Credit Support | AgenTax
R&D time tracking software that connects Jira, GitHub, and delivery records to produce audit-ready time allocations for SR&ED and Section 41.
R&D Time Tracking Software for Tax Credit Support AgenTax is R&D time tracking software that produces evidence-backed time allocations for SR&ED and Section 41 claims. Instead of asking engineers to fill in timesheets from memory, it connects Jira, GitHub, and workforce data to calculate where R&D time was actually spent. Regular time tracking captures hours. R&D time tracking software for tax credits needs to answer a harder question: how much of that time was spent on activities that qualify as eligible research and development — and can you prove it? AgenTax approaches R&D time tracking differently. Instead of adding another timesheet for engineers to fill out, it pulls structured activity data from Jira and GitHub, maps it to your workforce records, and calculates time allocations that are tied to actual project participation. The result is evidence your finance team and advisors can trace directly back to source systems.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this a general-purpose timesheet tool?
- No. AgenTax is purpose-built for R&D tax documentation. It focuses on connecting engineering activity to claim-ready evidence, not on attendance tracking or payroll.
- Does it support both SR&ED and Section 41?
- Yes. The platform supports Canadian SR&ED claims and US Section 41 R&D tax credit documentation from the same underlying project data.
- What if my team does not use Jira?
- You can import project data via CSV uploads. Jira and GitHub integrations provide the richest experience, but they are not required to get started.
- How are time allocations calculated?
- Allocations are derived from project participation data — Jira issue assignments, GitHub contribution patterns, and workforce records. The platform maps this activity to specific time periods and calculates R&D percentages based on what the data shows.
- Can I adjust the time allocations manually?
- Yes. The platform produces calculated allocations as a starting point, but you can review and adjust them before exporting. The goal is to give your advisor accurate starting material, not to lock you into automated numbers.
- What if some engineers work on both R&D and non-R&D projects?
- The platform handles mixed workloads by mapping each contributor to every project they participated in. Time is allocated proportionally based on project activity, separating R&D from non-R&D work automatically.
- How does this compare to manual timesheets?
- Evidence-backed allocations from actual project data are more accurate and defensible than reconstructed timesheets. See our detailed comparison at the AgenTax vs Timesheets page.
- Do engineers need to change how they work?
- No. AgenTax works from the data your team already produces in Jira and GitHub. There is no new data entry, no daily logging, and no workflow changes required.
