Detalhes do programa

The Netherlands' Innovatiebox is a preferential corporate income tax regime that applies a reduced effective rate to qualifying profits from innovation-related intangible assets.

Where the conditions are met, qualifying innovation profits are taxed at an effective 9% instead of the standard corporate rates. The benefit is limited to the portion of profit that can be linked to qualifying, self-developed IP under the nexus approach.

The regime is designed for IP owners that can document genuine R&D activity and substantiate the connection between the underlying IP, the development spend, and the resulting profits.

In practice, access usually hinges on having the right R&D documentation (often including a WBSO statement) and a defendable profit attribution model. Professional structuring and ongoing compliance are typically required.
