Tax deductions for R&D investments

This fiscal incentive enables businesses to deduct 13.5% of investments to innovative and/or energy reducing projects. The challenge is to accurately identify the eligible expenses :

Eco-responsible investment linked to an R&D project.
Opex for investments in patent costs.
Energy-saving investments.

Following similar conditions as the investment deduction, a tax credit can be applied. If not deducted during 5 consecutive years, there is a guaranteed cash reimbursement that can be carried forward. It allows a company to have the same benefit as an investment deduction even in the case of an insufficient taxable basis
