R&D tax credits in Ireland: is it worth it?

A tax credit is a sum of money that a company takes off its tax bill, lowering its tax burden.

The Irish R&D tax credit is a programme that promotes innovation by allowing companies to report to Revenue Ireland their spending on research and development and then reduce their tax bill by a third of that sum.

So your successful application for the Irish R&D tax credit effectively reduces your R&D costs.

This can give you a competitive edge, allowing you to get improved products and services to market faster than your competitors.

The reduced tax burden can free up capital that can be invested in growth or further innovation, promoting the cycle of improvement that is so characteristic of a successful business.

The R&D tax credit is a valuable benefit to any Irish firm engaged in seeking scientific or technological advancement or attempting to resolve a scientific uncertainty.

An advantage for innovative companies large and small

The Irish R&D tax credit is available to start-ups and established firms, and companies of any size can claim it, as long as they are engaged in science and technology R&D.

Costs to include in your R&D tax credit claim

These are some examples of costs that companies can include in the research and development tax credit claim:

• capital expenditure
• cloud computing
• materials
• overheads
• royalty payments
• staff costs, including agency staff and subcontractors

Of course, there may be other costs that apply to your company’s research and development work. Our R&D tax credit specialists can offer clarification and help you to get the most out of your claim.

What we do: research and development tax credit consultancy in Ireland

We provide R&D credit claim support to businesses that pay taxes to the Irish Government and are based in Ireland, the UK and the EEA.

The process for applying to Ireland Revenue for your R and D tax credit involves proving that the research meets certain criteria, including a technical justification.

We can determine whether your R&D work is eligible for this programme and we provide a cost analysis service so you can make an informed decision.

As R&D tax credit specialists, we can file your claim quickly and efficiently to meet Revenue’s strict deadline. We can save you time and effort, and as R&D tax credit application experts, we can maximise your refund by seeking out all the eligible R&D costs.

Most people have an idea of what R&D work looks like, but some companies don’t realise that certain day-to-day activities that count as R&D for the purposes of the programme. Companies that don’t include the costs of these activities in their claim lose out. That’s why our advisors will look at your business as a whole to ensure that you are claiming for the entire spectrum of qualifying R&D expenditure.

NX Advisory’s R&D tax credit advisors will help you collate documentation and evidence to support your claim to Revenue. Standardised documentation will make your claim process much easier, and we can advise your organisation about setting that up.

Claims made with the support of an R&D tax credit consultant are less likely to be audited – but should Revenue have queries, NX Advisory will be there to support you.
