What are R&D Incentives?

Since 2002, the Norwegian government have introduced an R&D tax deduction for Norwegian companies that conduct R&D projects, “SkatteFUNN” . This incentive allows companies to deduct  19%  of the project costs as a tax deduction for R&D activities in an approved project. The Research Council of Norway assess the R&D project to allow or not the deduction.

The aim of this tax deduction is to promote R&D growth in Norway and encourage investment in R&D and boost the economic growth. The company can get a research and development tax deduction, irrespective of their type of R&D projects. This is a clear intention from the government to encourage companies to take benefit of this scheme.

The tax incentive is 19% of the eligible project costs capped to 25 million of NOK per year per company. This capped amount allow you to get up to 4,75 million of NOK per year as savings.
