R&D and intellectual property

The tax aspects of R&D activities and IP rights play a crucial role for many companies and entrepreneurs. Belgium has an important number of specific tax regimes to incentivise R&D and IP. We follow up closely on these topics in order to provide our clients with up-to-date advice and practical insights. We are able to provide integrated solutions by working together with our highly experienced IP Department.
