How it works

How we implement IP Box and the R&D relief in a company

IP Box reduces the burden on income from creative work and the R&D relief allows development costs to be accounted for on top of it, but both call for proper records kept from the beginning of the period. Four steps.

  1. Qualification

    We check whether the company's activity and rights meet the conditions of the IP Box preference or of the R&D relief.

  2. Records

    We set up the records required so that each preference can be applied safely.

  3. Documentation

    We prepare the documentation supporting the right to the preference.

  4. Filing

    We support the first filing that takes the preferences into account.

Who this service is for

The service is for companies working on new products and technologies. IP Box reduces the burden on income from qualified intellectual property rights, while the relief for research and development activity allows the costs of development work to be accounted for in addition. Applied together in one company, the two preferences call for a consistent set of records covering costs, revenues and working time across each development line.

Why records and documentation decide the outcome

The greatest risk in IP Box and in the R&D relief is not the preference itself but the absence of documentation at the moment it has to be demonstrated. We therefore concentrate on setting up the records from the outset and on preparing the justification of the right to the preference. The scope grows with the number of projects and with the size of the team, and several parallel development lines raise the price.

What the fee depends on

  • Number and type of qualified rights and of development projects
  • Size of the team and number of development lines covered
  • Condition of the company's existing documentation and records

We agree the fee individually, at an hourly rate or as a flat fee, and confirm it before we start.
