Patent Box

This measure allows for a 60% reduction in the amount to incorporate into the tax base on income obtained from the assignment of rights of use or exploitation of intangible assets such as patents, drawings or models, plans, secret formulas or procedures, and rights for information based on industrial, commercial and scientific experience.

These are net incomes based on the positive difference between incomes obtained from assignment and the expenses and deductions derived from them.  If the intangible assets not recognised in the balance, net income will be considered as 80% of the incomes coming from their assignment.

Certain requirements must be met to make use of this benefit:

  1. The organisation assigning the rights must have created the assets to the degree of at least 25% of their costs.
  2. The results from the activity of the recipient of the rights do not create tax-deductible expenses for the assigning company when they are linked.
  3. The recipient of the rights may not be located in a tax paradise, unless it is one in the European Union and the taxpayer can prove the operation is for valid economic reasons.
  4. When other activities or services are included in a contract for assigning rights, they must be clearly differentiated from the assignment.
  5. The company must have the accounting registers necessary for properly determining the direct and indirect incomes and expenses derived from the assignment.

This reduction of the tax base does not apply to: brands and trademarks, or literary, artistic and scientific works, including films for cinema, with personal rights subject to assignment, such as image rights, computer programmes, or industrial, commercial and scientific equipment, or any other right or asset apart from the ones indicated.

To apply it with Legal Certainty:
The taxpayer can request, prior to application, a binding Acuerdo de Calificación(Qualification Agreement) from the Dirección General de Tributos (General Directorate for Taxation) recognising qualification of the incomes in the categories accepted for the reduction. An Acuerdo de Valoración (Assessment Agreement) can also be requested, where the taxpayer accepts an assessment of the amount to deduct from the tax base.

Gestión Valenciana will help you prepare the documentation required for the Qualification Agreement of income, and the Assessment Agreement of them to enable you to be able to act with Legal Certainty.

Aid for R+D+i

R&D+i activity is a fundamental tool of the competitiveness of companies and a basic element for their development. That is the reason governments and administrations promote R&D+i activities, in an attempt to share or reduce the risk for those business leaders who decide to make a commitment to R&D+i.

Organisations and public agencies on the regional, national and European level convoke and administer programmes to promote R&D+i for companies. These programmes offer companies a chance to have access to a number of financial resources for their R&D+i projects. They include the following options:

  • Subsidies: a credit for one portion of the cost of the R&D+i project, with a public agency participating in and supporting the project. These subsidies are often paid for expenses already carried out and justified to the administration, although in many cases there is the option of having access to advance payment to provide liquidity for the project. Depending on the programme, the subsidies are used to finance expenses directly related to the project, such as salaries and Social Security contributions, materials, equipment, tangible assets, outside collaborations, general expenses, etc.
  • Subsidised Loans: This involves financing the project through a long-term loan with favourable terms as far as interest rate, return of principal and consideration of bank risk compared to what the market offers. These loans can also be combined with subsidised tranches.  Beyond the special terms, their main advantage is that they allow the investment for the R&D project to be amortised over a long period of time after its completion.
  • Risk and Seed Capital, private financing: There are public programmes which promote financing through the injection of capital in the company by public or private agents who buy its equity shares. These agents can take on different positions within the company, ranging from participating only in the financing to assisting in the administration and promotion of the company.    These are temporary involvements in the company which supply capital during an initial phase of the R&D project in order to make its participation profitable through growth of the business before leaving the project after a few years.

Gestión Valenciana is at your disposal to get to know about the projects of your company and provide advice on the best way to finance them, drawing on our extensive experience in the financing and management of R&D+i projects.  We will work alongside you through the entire process of identifying the most suitable source of financing, in obtaining and managing of financing and managing your tax obligations.

Awareness and Creativity: Basic Tools of Innovation

Two fundamental analyses for developing the R&D+i activity of the company and strengthening its competitiveness are an external analysis of the technological and competitive environments of the company and an internal analysis of company activities and resources.

Continual awareness of the technological and competitive environments is essential for the external analysis in order to stay ahead of changes in the competitive environment and identify new paths to follow.     An analysis of the internal information of the company and business is fundamental for the internal analysis as well as an analysis of the opportunity offered by its internal resources based on the knowledge, experience and abilities of the personnel.  The internal information and business analysis can be done through the company registers and reports; making use of the opportunity offered by the company’s human resources has to come from techniques for stimulating creativity and knowledge.

  • Technological awareness: This involves implementing tools and actions directed at following the technological evolution of the sector. It attempts to know about the research and technical developments available in a particular sphere, like all patents that may exist, and all projects under way in a given area of research and development. This awareness must serve to discard potential researches or developments that have already been done; it has to anticipate future research and development trends that can open new paths of work for the company to stay ahead of the market and competition.  Finally, it has to present the leading companies in the sector in order to situate the company and be able to anticipate future strategies and alliances that may help to develop the R&D+i and competitiveness of the company.
  • Awareness of the Competition and Market:This involves implementing tools and actions directed at following the competitive and technological activities of the competition, changes in the competitive and economic environment and the evolution of the market and demand, anticipating future commercial and consumer trends and opportunities.  This activity allows us to identify the positioning of the competition, detect new commercial or business opportunities, new niche markets, and anticipate future consumer and buying trends, the source of R&D+i projects.
  • Creativity: This involves implementing an internal procedure of analysis that concludes with a series of work dynamics providing results in terms of opportunities for innovation, competitiveness and business. These work dynamics, over an intense prior analysis, are put it into practice with a group of people from different areas of the company who have certain abilities and tendencies in common.  Various techniques to overcome inhibitions, create ideas, analysis and evaluation are implemented. A series of opportunities concerning competition, business and innovation are the result of those techniques, prioritised according to the strategic goals of the company.

Gestión Valenciana will help you do the necessary external analysis by putting the activities related to awareness of the technological and competitive environment into operation.  It will help with the internal analysis through studying the existing report and development of the creativity sessions to make the fundamental abilities of your company flourish and identify the future R&D+i opportunities for improving your strategy and competitiveness.
