Change Captain automates the legwork and gives you defensible evidence, down to the commit.
Plug In. Develop. Save Big.
We analyze GitHub activity and generate clean, audit-ready
data-no time tracking or guesswork.
Change Captain runs quietly in the background integrating with your code repository, ticketing system, and payroll. Unlike other tools, it doesn’t rely on story points or estimates. As IRS scrutiny increased in 2025, companies can no longer depend on vague projections to claim credits. Change Captain meets these stricter standards by pulling actual data from your codebase, tracking who did the work, when, and how long it took. It then connects that to wage data to automatically determine what qualifies, giving you everything you need to maximize your savings, fully automated and fully audit-ready.

Yes, however, there are limits.
R&D Tax Credits:
You can usually claim credits in the country where the work is performed. For example, in the United States, you cannot claim credits for R&D performed outside the U.S. In Canada, up to 10% of your credits can come from international work performed abroad. Beyond that, Change Captain can also help you secure credits in the country where the development occurs — so if part of your team is in India, we can help you maximize savings through India’s incentives as well.
Tax Amortization:
You can generally receive the full benefit of tax amortization in most countries—though the specific rules differ by jurisdiction.
For example, in the United States, recent tax reform allows immediate expensing of domestic R&D costs incurred after December 31, 2024, under Section 174A. However, R&D performed abroad must still be amortized over 15 years.
Each country sets its own amortization timelines. Change Captain automatically applies the correct treatment for your development location, ensuring compliance and maximizing your tax savings.
