A special tax regime that helps to encourage and boost business innovation.

¿What is patent box?

The Patent Box is an incentive that complements the financing of innovative projects through a reduction of up to 60% in the taxation of income derived from the assignment or transfer of the right to use certain intangible assets.

How does Euro-Funding help you during this process?

Our service is based on the analysis of the assets generated and their nature, the valuation of the different expense items incurred in their development, the determination of the income from the assignment in each financial year and the quantification of the potential tax savings that could result.

Analysis of assets subject to assignment.

We are present throughout the process of applying the patent box incentive, collaborating with entities specialised in transfer pricing, assignment agreements and intellectual protection mechanisms or registration of results, providing support in:

  • Detailed cost analysis of the asset creation process.
  • Determination of the reduction coefficient for the application of the incentive
  • Description of the impact of the asset transfer
  • Compliance with regulatory requirements

Advantages of the patent box for companies

  • It is applicable to any type of company.
