Innovation box

Lowering payable tax on profit from your own innovations; makes sense, right?

The government rewards entrepreneurs with successful innovations through subsidies and tax credit. An important example is the Innovatiebox.

The Innovatiebox (Innovation Bracket) means that the part of the profit is directly attributable to innovative products, projects, and services is not subject to 15-25.8% of corporate tax, but only 9% - which can make a huge difference.

Developing intangible assets

You have developed your own intangible asset, which required R&D and has been patented. The profit from the asset must result from your own asset for at least 30%.

Attributing profit to innovation

Both patents and R&D statements are a way into the Innovatiebox. Then, in consultation with the Dutch tax authorities, the part of the profit that can be attributed to the innovation is established. This also depends on the attribution method.
