About this Workshop

Many companies in Maia are unaware of what R&D (Research and Development) consists of and, therefore, may be paying more IRC (Corporate Tax) than they should. There is a myth that tax benefits are only for "giants" or laboratory companies.

Yunit Consulting and the Maia Business Association are organising this practical workshop so that business owners can learn how to make use of these instruments, optimise the tax burden, and continue investing in the growth and competitiveness of their companies.

Programme:

• 09:00: Welcome Coffee & Networking
• 09:30: Opening – Carlos Mendes (Chairman of the Board, AEMAIA)
• 09:45: How Investment in R&D and Innovation can be converted into tax benefits – Eduardo Silva (Yunit)
• 10:00: Do you do R&D without knowing it? – Sofia Soares (Yunit)
• 10:15: The Savings Map: SIFIDE, RFAI, and ICE – Eduardo Silva (Yunit)
• 10:30: Checklist and Next Steps – Sofia Soares (Yunit)
• 10:45: Tax Benefits in practice (Q&A)
