More than 30 countries offer R&D tax incentives at present, incentives that apply not only to research performed in a laboratory but also to a broad spectrum of developmental activities, including manufacturing process improvements, production trials and software integration issues. Taking advantage of these incentives creates an immediate cash benefit for companies. Furthermore, a careful consideration of the requirements of the different regimes opens up tax planning opportunities, double dips, and links with transfer pricing arrangements that can reduce effective tax rates and increase EPS.

Deloitte has established a global network of highly qualified and experienced individuals to deliver a seamless unrivalled service to optimise the R&D related global incentives.
