R&D Compliance

Why not have an R&D incentive expert conduct a compliance check? This ensures your claims are aligned with current regulations, maximizing your potential benefits while minimizing risks.

What are R&D Incentives?

R&D tax relief is a scheme designed to support companies in financing their R&D projects by meeting specific project and employee criteria. Contrary to common belief, the application process focuses more on the technical aspects of projects rather than just the financial calculations, especially during audits by Skatteverket, which mainly assesses the R&D validity of the projects.

In 2022, Skatteverket conducted 300 audits on R&D tax relief claims, with only 35% approved as initially submitted.

What can be considered as R&D?

R&D eligibility in Sweden is strictly interpreted by tax authorities, based on legal definitions, the Frascati manual, and relevant court cases. What may generally be considered R&D might not meet the legal criteria, posing a financial risk and potential for penalties. As a leader in European R&D tax relief, Leyton offers services to ensure your claim is secure and compliant, advising against managing the process independently to avoid risks.
