Global Investment and Innovation Incentives

In most countries and industry sectors, an elaborate system of financial incentives is available to fuel your R&D, innovation, and other business investments. These incentives are available for both domestic investments and growth opportunities abroad. The multitude of opportunities becomes more complex when you consider that within each country, local and regional governments have the authority to fund incentives of their own. Identifying, understanding, and prioritising the right incentives for your organisation can be a time-consuming and challenging undertaking—but it's also one that can generate significant benefits. The Deloitte network gives you access to Global Investment and Innovation Incentives (Gi3) practitioners who are ready to provide support around the world. Our world-class capabilities help you pursue the right path by developing and executing an effective incentives strategy for your needs.

Research and development (R&D) claims preparation

Identifying eligible R&D activities and preparing robust supporting documentation is often unfamiliar territory for businesses who may not have the resources needed to complete the paperwork required to file a claim. Deloitte can assist with the whole process from scoping through document preparation and submission. Deloitte combines deep tax technical expertise with highly experienced scientists and engineers so that the multiple aspects of an incentive claim are understood and considered. We utilise technology based solutions worldwide to create a smooth process with increased transparency and to facilitate compliance with regulatory changes.

Government incentives application support

To take advantage of the grants, credits and incentives available to a business requires time and effort. Deloitte’s Gi3 teams are highly experienced in the practicalities of preparing, negotiating and agreeing such applications from initial feasibility reviews to document submission. Deloitte's knowledge and experience in this specialised area provides clients with the confidence of knowing that the incentives which can impact their cost of business have been considered and evaluated.

Tax controversy related to R&D or government incentives

R&D claims and Government Incentive applications often receive intense regulatory scrutiny. Deloitte provides assistance in resolution of any such audits as well as support related to claims and information requests or objections from relevant government bodies. Our teams include former officials with various regulatory agencies who have an indepth understanding of the regulatory processes.
