R&D Tax Credit
up to €3.5M per year

Up to €3.5M per year, maximum €15M per company for the period 2021-2026. The amount depends on your qualified R&D expenses, with 35% of eligible costs being reimbursed.

All taxpaying companies in Germany, regardless of size or industry. This includes startups, SMEs, large enterprises, and even freelancers. Loss-making companies can receive a cash payout.

Eligible expenses include employee salaries for R&D activities, external R&D services, prototype development costs, and experimental development activities. We help identify all eligible expenses.

Our success-based fee is 4-5% of the approved funding amount. No upfront costs – we only get paid when you receive your funding. This ensures our interests align with your success.

The future of the program is uncertain due to possible government guidelines. Additionally, you can apply retroactively for up to 4 years, but applications for 2021-2024 must be submitted soon to avoid missing deadlines.

R&D includes developing new products, improving existing processes, creating new technologies, or solving technical problems. Even failed experiments count if they were systematic innovation attempts.

From initial assessment to approval typically takes 3-6 months. We handle all communication with authorities and provide regular progress updates.

We have a 95% approval rate due to our thorough preparation and deep understanding of requirements. Our team consists of PhDs and experienced innovation consultants.
