3 times as many companies in Poland benefit from the R&D relief

In 2018, 43 percent of surveyed research and development companies benefited from the R&D relief. This is three times more than in 2017 when this percentage was 14 percent, KPMG consulting company informed.
According to the authors of the report, the increase in popularity of using R&D reliefs is the result of clarifying the regulations and qualification requirements. Thanks to the money saved in this way, 80 percent of companies allocated them to the implementation of new projects, and 51 percent for research and development equipment.
However, KPMG indicated that despite the change in regulations, still, more than 40 percent of enterprises declare that the biggest problem is uncertainty as to whether the profile of their business activity is eligible for the relief. The consulting company emphasized that Poland, compared to other EU countries, offers one of the most preferential deduction rates.
