In France, the research tax credit (cr\u00e9dit d&#8217;imp\u00f4t recherche &#8211; CIR) is a tax measure designed to encourage companies to invest in research and development (R&amp;D), including information for innovation.<\/p>\n\n<p>This is why the costs associated with technology watch can be considered as eligible expenses under the CIR. The CIR rate applied is <strong>30% of<\/strong> R&amp;D <strong>expenditure<\/strong> up to 100 million euros, and 5% for the fraction of expenditure in excess of 100 million euros. Eligible expenses may include documentary research, technology watch, patent acquisition, etc.<\/p>\n\n<p>To qualify for the CIR, certain conditions must be met. For example:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Direct link with R&amp;D <\/strong>: Technology watch must be directly linked to the company&#8217;s R&amp;D projects. It should be used to identify new technologies, trends or innovations likely to influence or improve current R&amp;D projects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Documentation and justification <\/strong>: The company must be able to document and justify how technology watch contributes to its R&amp;D activities. This includes how the information gathered is used to make R&amp;D decisions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Integration into the R&amp;D process <\/strong>: Monitoring must be integrated into the company&#8217;s R&amp;D process, and not be an isolated activity. It must have an impact on the development or improvement of new products, services or processes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compliance with CIR criteria <\/strong>: As with all expenses eligible for the CIR, technology watch activities must comply with the general criteria of the scheme, particularly in terms of knowledge creation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Declaration and follow-up <\/strong>: The company must declare these expenses in its CIR declaration, and be ready to justify them in the event of a tax audit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The precise rules governing the eligibility of expenditure for the CIR can be complex, and may vary depending on the company&#8217;s situation. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s advisable to call in a tax expert or R&amp;D consultant to ensure that all requirements are met and to optimize the benefit of the CIR.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humind.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/CIR.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.humind.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/CIR.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.humind.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/CIR-100x100.webp 100w, https:\/\/www.humind.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/CIR-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><button class=\"simplefavorite-button preset\" data-postid=\"21192\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"box-shadow:none;-webkit-box-shadow:none;-moz-box-shadow:none;background-color:#0090b5;color:#ffffff;\"><i class=\"sf-icon-like\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\"><\/i>Like<\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that your technology watch expenses can be eligible for a tax credit?
