The research and development tax relief scheme is one of the latest instruments (in effect from January 2016) supporting innovative ventures of Polish companies. It has been gaining recognition as it allows companies to deduct specific costs (so-called eligible costs) related to R&D activities from a tax base. Such schemes translate into considerable money savings.

We advise our clients on the whole R&D tax relief procedure, and our services include:

• Analysis of the company’s projects from the perspective of tax provisions on R&D relief
• Identification of the pool of eligible costs that can be deducted by the company within the R&D tax relief scheme
• Preparation of an application for a tax interpretation in order to secure the company’s tax position
• Preparation of reorganization proposals which can boost  eligibility for R&D tax relief, and considering the specific features of the company’s business processes.

The enterprises, irrespective of industries in which they operate, that incur eligible costs on a regular basis and record them in their books are eligible for relief on their taxable income connected with their research and development operations.
