SIFIDE II

SIFIDE (System of Tax Incentives for Business Research and Development) applies to companies subject to IRC in Portugal, which can deduct up to a large percentage (up to 32.5%) of R&D investments from IRC collection.

What is it for?

SIFIDE aims to increase the competitiveness of companies by supporting their research and development efforts by deducting a percentage of their R&D expenses from the IRC tax (the part not covered by the State or European Funds).

Who can benefit?

IRC taxpayers resident in Portuguese territory who engage, whether primarily or not, in agricultural, industrial, commercial, or service activities. Non-residents with a permanent establishment in Portugal and who incur research and development (R&D) expenses are also eligible for this benefit.
