The Situation:

Germany is at the dawn of the implementation of a new funding instrument for research and development (R&D) activities. This funding scheme -the so-called ‘Forschungszulagengesetz’ (FZulG) will be implemented from January 1, 2020 onwards.
This new legislation makes it possible for 100.000 companies in Germany to apply for R&D refund by means of tax credits, up to a maximum of 500k € per company (depending on the overall R&D expenses).
Although new for Germany, for Ayming this kind of funding scheme is already daily business: in most of the countries where Ayming has presence, such an instrument is in place for already many years. We support companies (from small enterprises up to very large industries) to apply and optimize such funding schemes, it is one of the key expertise of Ayming.
Servicing existing and new clients in Germany on this forthcoming funding scheme is part of Ayming’s strategy and will be implemented, starting today!
