The implementation of many interesting and useful innovations in the modern world is becoming more common every day. For several years now, there has been a legal provision that allows entrepreneurs to deduct credits dedicated to innovation and development activities, i.e. R&D credits, Innovation Box credits, Innovative Worker credits, as well as expansion credits. These, as well as other tax solutions, are not yet well known in the business community not only in Poland, but also abroad. They can bring many benefits to businesses, from encouraging their owners to innovate in their ventures to reducing costs from such activities.
In addition, the meeting will discuss conducting benchmarking analysis using a new proprietary IT tool. Benchmarking analysis is extremely important for entities preparing transfer pricing documentation (except for micro and small companies), as it is a mandatory part of this process. An efficient and intuitive tool can support companies that perform such analysis.
From the meeting you will get to know:
-
what is the essence and importance of reliefs supporting innovation in companies
-
what are the examples of types of innovation in companies eligible for reliefs
-
what are the advantages of accounting for reliefs
-
what innovations can be introduced in a tax consulting firm
-
how to practically and successfully use modern IT tools in a tax consulting firm for benchmarking analysis.
