Nowadays, many companies are seriously considering carrying out various research projects as a way of achieving greater competitiveness and improving their position in the market. In this sense, it is essential to properly account for these activities, since not only does their implementation not constitute an expense, but the amount of capital invested can be transformed into an asset integrated in the company’s balance sheet as if it were a fixed asset.
The capitalisation of research and development project expenses is an accounting tool that enables research and development project expenses to be moved from a group 6 account (profit and loss account) to a group 2 account (balance sheet), so that the expense is no longer allocated in one year but spread over several years through amortisation.
Para que los gastos asociados a un proyecto de Investigación y Desarrollo puedan ser activados, deben cumplirse las siguientes condiciones:
The activation of research and development project expenses has a double impact:
– It implies an improvement in the pre-tax income statement.
– It implies an increase in the value of the company by increasing the amount of its assets.
Euro-Funding analyses, quantifies and documents research and development assets, supporting the application of this mechanism. We carry out the following functions:
– Identification of Research and Development projects.
– Preparation of reports Evaluation of expenses incurred in each project.
– Justification of the fulfilment of the necessary conditions for activation.
We are experts in calculating the activation for research expenditure. We carry out an exhaustive analysis of compatibility with other incentives.
We advise you at all times and answer any type of doubt or query you may have in relation to the application of this tool.
It is a very good way to increase the value of the entity, thus recognising the value of its intangible assets. Activating your company’s intangible assets provides you with a series of benefits:
Many companies hesitate when it comes to activating their research and development expenses and, above all, how this activation may affect the tax deductions for R&D&I in corporate income tax. It is therefore necessary to clarify the relationship between the two issues, one fiscal and the other accounting.
Therefore, the activation for R&D expenses is completely independent of the tax deductions generated by this type of expenses. The standard does not oblige companies to capitalise R&D expenses for accounting purposes in order to obtain R&D tax deductions, establishing a clear accounting-fiscal differentiation. We can thus state that tax deductions for R&D&I are compatible with the activation of expenses, but there is no obligation to access the aforementioned deductions.
