R&D Tax Credits

Introduced in Finance Act 2004 and significantly enhanced by Finance (No. 2) Act 2008, the Irish Research and Development Tax Credit Regime offers a very valuable relief to companies undertaking qualifying research and development activities.

Companies can now get an effective tax deduction of 37.5% for qualifying expenditure.

There is also the facility for companies to receive a cash refund from Revenue in relation to qualifying expenditure where the company does not have sufficient corporate tax profits against which the credit can be used.
