TAX BENEFITS

Donations granted to iBET are considered as expenses under the scientific patronage, as foreseen in the Tax Benefits Statute (Art. 62º A do Estatuto dos Benefícios Fiscais) as a result from its status of private non-profit research organization in the scientific area. (Despacho nº 8993/2013, Diário da República, 2ª série).

SIFIDE II, a system of tax incentives for entrepreneurial R&D is in force until 2020, as per the Investment Tax Code, approved by the Decree-Law nº 162/2014. According to that system all the costs related to R&D activities supplied by R&D institutions are eligible expenses for the purpose of that incentive. iBET fully qualifies as a R&D institution for the purpose of this incentive scheme.

INTELECTUAL PROPERTY POLICY

In research work carried out with companies, the ownership is often attributed to companies, with iBET and the inventors collecting royalties. For patents filed directly by iBET, we try to market them as soon as they are filed with relevant companies as these can better use them in their business activities.
