What is an Innovation Box?

The Dutch Innovation Box is a comprehensive preferential tax regime that covers both income tax relief (effective, i.e. the effective rate falls to 9% on innovation income) and payroll and contribution tax relief for social insurance. The mode is available to companies resident in the Netherlands and Dutch private entrepreneurs (EMZ).

 

WBSO certificate

Obtaining a WBSO certificate is both a necessary step in the transition to the Innovation Box regime and an additional benefit: a taxpayer who acts as a tax agent (or EMZ for himself) and has this certificate has the right to deduct from the total amount of payroll tax a certain amount of the total base research and development (R&D) costs. This deduction is from 19.000 euros / year, but in principle it can be much higher.

The mode is available for taxpayers who independently develop a product / provide a production process / create software or conduct scientific and technical research. The result should comply with the principles of novelty of the information technologies used or created and the independence of solving technical problems.
