Webinar: How R&D in your company can help reduce corporate income tax payable

SIFIDE II and IRC have ceased to be merely reporting obligations to become strategic levers for competitiveness. It was on this central theme that Yunit Consulting held, on 27 January, a webinar dedicated to demystifying these fiscal instruments.

For companies investing in innovation, understanding how to recover R&D costs and optimise the tax bill is not just an advantage — it is fundamental to ensuring sustainability and growth in the current market.

In this session — which featured the participation of Eduardo Silva, Director of Operations at Yunit, and Paula Marques, R&D Consultant at Yunit — best practices for the closing of accounts and the maximisation of current tax benefits were analysed.

What is at stake: SIFIDE and IRC as engines of innovation

SIFIDE II allows for a deduction from the IRC tax liability of a part of Research and Development expenses, potentially reaching very attractive rates. However, the success of this recovery depends on a rigorous technical framework of the activities developed by the company.

During the debate, Eduardo Silva highlighted that "timely tax planning allows companies to free up crucial treasury to reinvest in the business itself, transforming a tax into a self-financing opportunity".

The importance of the technical framework

Paula Marques highlighted that the boundary between what is "normal operation" and what is "R&D" is not always clear to companies. "Yunit's role is precisely to help identify those invisible projects that qualify for the benefit, ensuring that no tax saving opportunity is wasted due to a lack of solid technical evidence".

Conclusion

With the closing of the fiscal year around the corner, this webinar serves as a practical guide for managers and financial directors looking to grow, innovate, and lead the future through intelligent tax management.
