IP Tax Management
{definition}: “The decision to leverage tax regimes to apply to revenue coming from certain IP rights.”
The IP tax management service
Our IP experts can assist companies to evaluate different tax regimes per country for various IP revenues. Many countries, such as Belgium and France, have implemented IP innovation or patent box regimes focused on reducing corporate tax rates. These schemes aim to foster investments in research and development and related IP rights. Our team can assist, together with your accountant or tax advisor, in vesting the necessary IP rights, calculating costs and determining the percentage of revenues attributable to IP.
Why and to whom is it useful?
A reduced tax rate on income derived from qualifying IP rights is particularly beneficial for innovative businesses. Software companies also benefit from a reduced tax rate on revenue derived from copyright-protected software. Businesses with significant IP portfolios (e.g. in the aerospace, automotive, energy and pharmaceutical sectors) can optimize their tax structures, reducing the overall tax burden. By implementing tax optimization, many governments encourage innovation and research and development investments.
