Sticares InterACT Prolongs its French Research Tax Credit Approval

Rhoon, NL,  January 27, 2011 / b3c newswire / - Sticares InterACT has been awarded the French research tax credit approval since 2009 and this approval has now been extended also for the years 2011, 2012 and 2013. The approval will help our existing and future clients in France to take advantage of this R&D tax credit.

As a result of Sticares InterACT being listed as an “approved organization”, the French ministry will allow for significant refunds by any French R&D company on their spending on Sticares InterACT’s services. The research tax credit is either deducted from annual corporate tax, or reimbursed and is calculated on the basis of the amount ("volume") of R&D expenditure by the company in France.
