We identify, calculate, and apply tax deductions for R&D&I, reducing your corporate income tax liability with technical, financial, and legal certainty.

Tax deductions for R&D&I allow companies to reduce their corporate income tax liability for expenses associated with research and development or technological innovation projects. However, to claim these deductions, companies must identify the project, classify it correctly, justify the costs, and document each phase.
At ELZABURU, we analyze a company’s innovation activities from three perspectives: technical, economic, and legal. We determine which projects qualify as R&D or technological innovation, review which expenses can be included in the deduction base, and calculate the applicable incentive.
We also examine the best approach for each company: direct application against corporate income tax, public monetization, or private monetization options, as appropriate.
Our methodology covers the entire process: identification, calculation, justification, review, certification, and obtaining Binding Reasoned Reports if the project requires them, with full traceability and legal certainty in the event of an audit.

We analyze the company's operations to identify projects, developments, or technological improvements that may qualify for tax credits for R&D or technological innovation.
We examine the nature of each project to distinguish between R&D activities, technological innovation, and routine maintenance, support, or minor adaptation tasks.
We review the costs associated with the project, ranging from personnel expenses and external collaborations to servers, cloud services, and other deductible expenses related to its implementation.
We prepare technical reports, financial documentation, and supporting evidence to ensure that the deduction is applied with precision, traceability, and legal certainty.
We coordinate the project’s certification through an ENAC-accredited entity and, when applicable, obtain the Binding Reasoned Report as official confirmation of the project’s technical qualification.
We assist your company with reviews, clarifications, or subsequent requests, providing technical, financial, and documentary support throughout the entire process.
We determine whether your project qualifies as R&D or Technological Innovation in order to calculate the applicable corporate income tax deduction: up to 59% for R&D and 12% for TI.
