Questions, answered
Irish R&D Tax Credits, explained.
Straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often.
Talk to a specialistWhat counts as qualifying R&D?
Qualifying work seeks an advance in science or technology and addresses scientific or technological uncertainty. We start with your projects and technical decisions, then review the relevant costs and supporting evidence against the Irish rules.
Can an unsuccessful project still qualify?
A project does not have to succeed to contain qualifying R&D. What matters is the advance sought, the uncertainty involved and the work undertaken to resolve it. Eligibility and qualifying costs still need to be assessed.
Do you also advise on KDB and innovation grants?
Yes. We help businesses explore the Knowledge Development Box, R&D capital allowances and innovation grant opportunities alongside Irish R&D Tax Credits. Each incentive has its own requirements, so we assess the options around your projects.
Can you work with our existing accountant?
Yes. We work closely with businesses and their existing accountants, connecting specialist technical evidence with the financial information needed for the claim. We also welcome referral and collaborative partnerships with professional advisers.
What if Revenue asks questions about our claim?
We help organise the technical and financial evidence, explain the position clearly and respond to queries. Our specialists can review an existing claim and help you understand the next steps.
