01 · The incentive

The incentive, in numbers

120%

Deduction on the amount contributed (Art. 39.7 LIS)

~20%

Net tax saving on the amount contributed

25-50%

Limit on gross tax liability per fiscal year

15 years

To apply any excess deduction

An example
You contribute€100,000
Deduction (120%)€120,000
Net saving (~20%)€20,000

Illustrative example. The actual saving depends on your tax liability. The deduction applies against the tax due, not against the taxable base.

02 · Limited allocation

Reserve your allocation before it runs out

The deduction volume available each fiscal year is limited. Don't wait until year end.

  • Now — reserve your allocation with the tax assessment
  • Before the fiscal year closes — you sign and make the contribution
  • Corporate Tax return — you apply the deduction against your tax due

03 · Who it fits

DENTAL CLINIC

Professional company and partners

Corporate Tax for the company + income tax for the partners: two tax fronts to optimise.

Stable tax bill every year

A deduction you can apply fiscal year after fiscal year.

FAMILY OFFICE / FAMILY BUSINESS

REQUIREMENT

Corporate Tax due > €50,000/year

That's where the incentive delivers its full effect.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a limit on my tax due?
Yes: the deduction is capped at 25% of the gross tax due for the year (extendable to 50%). Any excess isn't lost: it carries forward up to 15 fiscal years.
What if the project doesn't perform?
The deduction doesn't depend on commercial success: it depends on the official certification (ICAA/INAEM), which is an administrative act.
Can the tax authority review it?
Like any deduction. It's covered by Art. 36 and 39.7 LIS, validated by the European Commission, and the whole operation is documented and filed on time.
What does it cost my company?
Nothing. The contribution goes entirely to the project and generates the deduction. No fees or hidden costs.
How are you different from a consultant?
We're a financial partner, not consultants: we structure the operation end to end and work with your tax advisor, without replacing them.
How long does the process take?
One to two weeks from decision to signature, depending on the project and your advisor's validation.
