Track Capex Hours for Tax Credits

Many companies and organizations can benefit from government tax credits for different types of work, such as software research and development. Want to know how you can cash in? Use Tempo Timesheets to track and organize the time logged to capital expenditures (Capex) and operating expenses (Opex), and then you can generate a report to be used to claim those sweet tax credits.

There are several steps to this process, from setting up accounts and permissions to running reports, so take a look below to see how it's all done.

Administrators
