Tax credit and Destination Italy
Are you an entrepreneur, and you want to know how to cut taxes which weigh on your firm, in agreement with the current legislation?
The good news is that today it is possible, but just a few know how.
In December 2013 the decree-law n145, called “Destination Italy”, has been issued and it provides in its article 3 the possibility of:
	Reducing the moment of incurring a VAT tax liability;
	Increasing one’s profits.
Thanks to the above-mentioned art. 3 of this Decree, you can achieve development projects of your firm and benefit from tax bonus, by strengthening the liquid assets for production activities or investment in Export and Internationalisation shares or something else.
It is possible to reduce taxation generating an bigger cash flow, through the tax credit deriving from investment in research and development projects, even in your own company.
Because of this tax bonus, for instance, you will be able to invest in:
- export operations and internationalisation;
- marketing and market analysis;
- improvement of your organisation, processes, products and services;
- training projects to develop the internal capabilities of your company;
- coaching pathways to increase the performances of the key figures;
- adjustment or improvement of the safety at work;
IN OTHER WORDS, BY INVESTING IN INNOVATION, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, YOU WILL OBTAIN A BIGGER CASH FLOW WITH A SAVING ON THE MOMENT OF INCURRING A VAT TAX LIABILITY. ALL THIS IS LAID DOWN BY LEGISLATION.
