Leverage Our Experience

At Busuttil & Company, we draw on deep expertise and focus on two key priorities when supporting R&D tax incentive applications: maximizing your funding potential and ensuring audit-ready documentation.

1.

Wir identifizieren Ihren Forschungsaufwand

Das Forschungszulagengesetz fasst den Begriff „Forschung“ deutlich weiter als er allgemein verwendet wird. Deshalb ist einigen Unternehmen nicht bewusst, dass viele ihrer Aktivitäten gefördert werden können. Es ist für Sie also deutlich mehr „drin“, als Sie denken. Mit unserer Expertise identifizieren wir Ihre gesamten Forschungsaktivitäten.

2.

Wir sorgen für eine revisionssichere Dokumentation

Nach Bewilligung der Mittel gilt es, die Aufwände gegenüber dem Finanzamt detailliert und transparent zu dokumentieren. Es kommt deshalb hierbei entscheidend auf revisionssichere Dokumentation des Prozesses um sich im Fall einer Buchprüfung Rückerstattungsforderungen zu schützen. Diese Prüfung kann bis zu 6 Jahre rückwirkend erfolgen!

1.

We identify your eligible R&D activities

The German R&D tax incentive framework defines “research and development” more broadly than commonly assumed. As a result, many companies are unaware that a wide range of day-to-day activities may qualify. Leveraging our expertise, we help you uncover the full scope of your eligible R&D activities—often beyond initial expectations.

2.

We ensure audit-ready documentation

Once your projects have been approved, the focus shifts to accurately calculating eligible costs and submitting them to the tax authorities. Robust and compliant documentation is critical throughout this process to mitigate potential clawbacks in the event of an audit. As reviews may be conducted retrospectively for up to six years, a structured and defensible approach is essential.
