Tax Incentives for Innovation
In the global economic scenario, research, development, and innovation (R&D&I) are necessary to keep countries competitive and at the forefront. Nationally, there are tax benefits focused on companies investing in R&D&I projects, aiming to reinvest in projects with these incentives and promote research and development activities within the country. Specialized consulting is crucial to identify projects that may fall under the scope of the applicable legislation and help structure and describe them for the responsible agencies.
With over 25 years of experience in corporate law, our firm has a multidisciplinary team of specialists in legislation regarding tax incentives for innovation for companies. We have the know-how for a comprehensive approach, from mapping eligible projects to the effective use of tax credits.
Among the main incentives, we highlight:
We assist companies in identifying eligible projects under the “Lei do Bem,” as well as in valuing and advising on calculating applicable tax incentives, and supporting companies until they utilize the tax credits effectively. These tax incentives are linked to technological research and development activities outlined in the “Lei do Bem”.
We assist companies in identifying eligible products under the Informatics Law, enabling and calculating applicable tax incentives, and supporting companies until they effectively use the tax credits. The tax benefit is granted to companies in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector that invest in R&D in the sector (such as hardware improvement, automation, and communication).
We assist companies in identifying eligible projects under the Green Mobility and Innovation, valuing and helping calculating applicable tax incentives, and supporting clients until they effectively use the tax credits. The Mover Program aims to boost technological development and increase global competitiveness in the automotive industry, aligning with industrial policy and technological development principles, promoting neo-industrialization and sustainability.
