Since the 2019 Finance Act, companies that develop their intellectual property assets in France have been favored thanks to the IP Box tax scheme. They can now benefit from a reduced rate of corporation tax at 10% on their income from assets according to precise eligibility criteria.
To be eligible for the IP Box, the company must be subject to corporate income tax, have developed eligible assets and generate income from the sale, assignment or sub-assignment of these assets (e.g. sale of a patent, assignment or sub-assignment of a license).
Un dispositif récent qui exige une expertise pointue
The documentary obligation covers
Implementing the IP Box requires rigorous documentation to secure your declaration.
- Demonstrate the eligibility of selected intellectual property assets
- Link R&D expenditure to the asset concerned
- Justify the breakdown of R&D expenditure and revenues generated
- Establish the Nexus ratio according to the applicable calculation methods
- Coordinated financial, tax and scientific expertise
The IP Box is an optional tax scheme, and its implementation involves a documentary obligation to demonstrate the eligibility of the intellectual property assets selected, to make the link between the R&D expenditure incurred and the asset concerned, and above all to justify the breakdown of R&D expenditure and the income generated.
As the system is relatively recent, an excellent knowledge of tax doctrine and calculation methods (in particular the Nexus ratio) is required to ensure that your declaration is secure. As with Research and innovation tax credits (CIR / CII)financial, tax and scientific expertise are essential.
Our legal and tax experts keep a constant watch on new tax developments relating to IP Box (legislation, case law, administrative doctrine).
