Worldwide R&D and Innovation Incentives

Worldwide R&D and Innovation Incentives

 

R&D tax relief and innovation incentives are available in most developed economies, but the rules, benefits, and administrative requirements vary widely. If your company operates internationally, understanding which countries offer the most attractive support, and how to access it correctly, can make a significant difference to your investment decisions.

Understand what’s available

Make informed choices

Optimise your strategy

Local presence, global reach

 

At ABGi, we help multinational groups and mid-sized companies make sense of these opportunities. With offices and local partners across Europe and the Americas, we provide expert advice to help you unlock and optimise the full range of national schemes available, always in line with local regulations.

Smarter use of global incentives

 

Whether you’re looking to fund new activity, establish a pilot site, or compare incentives across jurisdictions, we provide a clear and consolidated view of what’s available. We work closely with your UK team and our local experts to map out each country’s R&D support, highlighting both the benefits and the limitations, so you can plan your approach with confidence.

Stay ahead of international compliance

 

Tax rules are evolving quickly. As OECD countries compete to attract investment, they’re introducing new rules, tightening controls, and increasing the complexity of international compliance, particularly in relation to BEPS, IP ownership, and cross-border transactions. We can help you plan around these challenges.

Simplify International Innovation Projects

 

Whether you’re already claiming internationally or considering expanding into new territories, we can support you in identifying the right levers to improve your funding outcomes, including R&D subcontracting, team relocations, IP centralisation, or intercompany recharging. All while remaining compliant with local tax law and international frameworks.
