The opportunity
Why this funding is worth exploring
The incentive reduces the financial burden of the investment and accelerates projects already planned by the business.
Tax that stays in the company
The deduction reduces corporate tax due and any unused balance can be carried forward.
No call, no waiting
There is no call, submission deadline or jury decision: it applies to the investment made in the tax year.
