CIT reliefs. Part 1

In order to promote innovative initiatives and support pro-development activities, a number of CIT reliefs have been in effect since 1 January 2022.
Our latest series of posts titled “CIT tax reliefs – that’s worth knowing” takes a closer look at the underlying principles governing the application of selected tax reliefs.

 

R&D  TAX RELIEF


Who can apply?

Entities that carry out R&D activities, i.e.

  • scientific research and 
  • development activities aimed at, among other things, designing and creating modified, improved, or new products, processes, or services.


How much can you gain?

By applying the R&D tax relief, certain R&D-related costs can be deducted from the tax base.

Moreover, starting from 1 January 2022 the R&D tax relief has been expanded with the addition of the so-called innovative employees tax relief. This relief allows for the deduction of R&D-related costs from the advance CIT payments of employees engaged in R&D activities. Thus, the relief has also been made available to entities reporting a tax loss.


PROTOTYPE RELIEF

 


Who can apply?

Entities that incur costs connected with the trial production or marketing of a new product created as part of R&D activities.

 

How much can you gain?

By applying the Prototype relief, taxpayers can deduct 30% of certain costs related to trial production or the launch of a new product from their tax base. The deduction cannot exceed 10% of the income generated in a given tax year.
