What is an Innovation Tax Credit (CII) approval?
CII accreditation not only recognizes your ability to innovate but also contributes to the success of your SME clients’ innovation projects.
In effect since 2013, the Innovation Tax Credit is a tax incentive designed specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to help boost their competitiveness by reducing the costs associated with innovation.
These companies are eligible for a tax credit equal to 20% of the expenses incurred in the design and/or production of prototypes or pilot facilities for a new product that offers superior technical performance, functionality, ergonomics, or eco-design compared to products currently available on the market. The eligible expenditure is capped at €400,000 per year per company.
This is where the value of CII-certified subcontractors comes into play .
Under the Innovation Tax Credit (CII) program, an SME that outsources the design of prototypes or pilot facilities for new products to another company may include these expenses in its CII tax base, provided that its subcontractor is CII-certified.
The CII certification is intended for companies of all sizes, particularly consulting and engineering firms and design agencies.
It is awarded following a review of the application, which must demonstrate that the subcontractor has the necessary human and material resources to successfully carry out the innovation work entrusted to it.
