Tax Credits
The Tax Credits Taskforce brings together EAIC members with extensive expertise in the design, implementation, and management of R&D and Innovation tax incentive schemes across the EU. As several Member States undergo reforms or updates of their tax credit frameworks, the Taskforce works to consolidate practitioner insights and promote efficient, investment‑friendly innovation policies.
