    A Comprehensive Overview of Tax Deductions for R&D&I

    We turn your investment in innovation into tax savings

    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.

    Identification of R&D&I Projects

    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.

    Technical Evaluation of the Project

    We examine the nature of each project to distinguish between R&D activities, technological innovation, and routine maintenance, support, or minor adaptation tasks.

    Calculation of the Taxable Base

    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.

    Technical and Economic Justification

    We prepare technical reports, financial documentation, and supporting evidence to ensure that the deduction is applied with precision, traceability, and legal certainty.

    Certification and Binding Reasoned Report

    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.

    Assistance in the Event of an Inspection

    We assist your company with reviews, clarifications, or subsequent requests, providing technical, financial, and documentary support throughout the entire process.
