Partial Exemption of Withholding Tax Companies can benefit from a partial exemption of 80% of withholding tax paid on the wages of scientific researchers. The definition of R&D is in line with the OECD Frascati Manual and encompasses fundamental research, industrial research and experimental development. Qualifying companies also include companies that have partnership agreements with specific European institutions and Young Innovative Companies.
