Monetization and funding
We reduce the monthly Social Security payment associated with the hiring and retention of employees dedicated exclusively to R&D&I activities.
Comprehensive Overview of Research Staff Bonuses
We reduce your common contingency contribution
Research staff tax credits allow for a reduction of up to 50% in Social Security contributions for employees engaged in R&D&I activities. To apply them correctly, it is necessary to identify which employees are involved in these projects, their level of commitment, and whether they meet the required technical and employment criteria.
At ELZABURU, we analyze the structure of your R&D&I team from three perspectives: technical, financial, and legal. We review the activities carried out, the actual time dedicated to R&D&I projects, the suitability of the professional profiles, and the documentation required to qualify for the tax credit.
This incentive generates immediate monthly savings—without having to wait until the end of the fiscal year—and improves the labor costs associated with innovation. Furthermore, only for companies with the “Innovative SME” designation can it be combined with R&D&I tax deductions for the same employees.
Our methodology covers the entire process—from identifying candidate profiles to technical review, review of job requirements, follow-up, justification, and auditing—to ensure that the incentive is applied with rigor, traceability, and legal certainty.
