Brief summary

Are you involved in the development of new products, machines, production processes or software - for yourself or on behalf of third parties? And are you faced with substantial technical challenges? Then it's likely that you can make use of the WBSO. The WBSO is a tax scheme that subsidizes R&D activities through a significant reduction in payroll tax. The WBSO subsidy amounts to 32% of the total project costs, and even 40% in the case of startups. Self-employed entrepreneurs who carry out R&D work for at least 500 hours per year, whether or not on behalf of third parties, can also make use of the WBSO. In that case, the subsidy is provided in the form of a fixed deduction, which in 2024 amounts to € 15,551 (€ 23,332 for startups).

Prosuma's services consist of full guidance throughout the entire subsidy process. We prepare the application for you, advise you on setting up the administration, support you with any inspections by RVO, and take care of reporting the realized hours and costs after the calendar year to which a WBSO decision relates.
