German Research Allowance Act: KPMG sheds light on the process
Since 1 January 2020 the German Research Allowance Act [Forschungszulagengesetz, FZulG] has provided support for basic research, industrial and experimental research. This research allowance is linked to personnel expenses, and in the case of contract research, the remuneration for contract research and will be credited to corporation tax or paid out.
KPMG illuminates the process for obtaining the allowance. Our experts will draw on their scientific or technical background to analyse your research projects using our questionnaire. Subsequent to our assessment, you will receive an initial assessment of your prospects of success and be made aware of your need for action.
