This map focuses on the latter, showing to what degree European countries grant expenditure-based R&amp;D tax relief. The implied tax subsidy rate, developed by the Organisation for Co-operation and Development (OECD), is one way to measure the extent of expenditure-based R&amp;D tax relief across countries. This implied tax subsidy rate measures the extent of the preferential treatment of R&amp;D in a given tax system. The more generous the tax provisions for R&amp;D, the higher the implied subsidy rates for R&amp;D. An implied subsidy rate of zero means R&amp;D does not receive preferential tax treatment.<\/p>\n<p>The implied tax subsidy rates for large profitable firms vary significantly among countries that grant notable relief, ranging from 1 percent in Denmark to 42 percent in Iceland. Portugal, France, and Poland provide the second and third most generous relief after Iceland, with implied tax subsidy rates of 39 percent for Portugal and 36 percent for France and Poland.<br \/>\nOf the countries that grant notable relief, Denmark (1 percent), Cyprus (2 percent), Croatia (4 percent), and Turkey (6 percent) are the least generous. The implied tax subsidy rates of Bulgaria, Estonia, Georgia, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, Romania, and Switzerland do not show any significant expenditure-based R&amp;D tax relief.<br \/>\nAmong the 33 major European countries with available data, the average implied subsidy rate for profitable large firms was 15.8 percent in 2023. In comparison, the United States only granted a subsidy rate of 3 percent to large profitable firms.<br \/>\nThe OECD also provides implied tax subsidy rates for loss-making firms and for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Most countries covered in today\u2019s map provide the same expenditure-based R&amp;D tax relief to large firms and SMEs. Only France (in the case of loss-making firms), Iceland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom are relatively more generous to SMEs than to large firms. Croatia and Hungary (in the case of loss-making firms) offer slightly higher relief to large firms than to SMEs.<br \/>\nSome countries\u2019 R&amp;D tax incentives include refunds and carryover provisions, changing the implied tax subsidy rates for loss-making firms relative to profitable firms. This has resulted in lower average implied tax subsidy rates for loss-making firms relative to profitable firms, both for SMEs and large firms.<br \/>\n<!-- #tablepress-487 from cache --><\/p>\n<h2>Stay informed on the tax policies impacting you.<\/h2>\n<p>Subscribe to get insights from our trusted experts delivered straight to your inbox.<br \/>\nSubscribe<\/p>\n<p><span class=\" ssb_inline-share_heading left\">Share<\/span><br \/>\n<button class=\"simplesocial-twt-share\" aria-label=\"Twitter Share\" data-href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Tax+Subsidies+for+R%26D+Expenditures+in+Europe%2C+2024&amp;url=https:\/\/taxfoundation.org\/data\/all\/eu\/rd-tax-incentives-europe-2024\/\"><span class=\"simplesocialtxt\">Twitter<\/span> <\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"simplesocial-linkedin-share\" aria-label=\"LinkedIn Share\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/sharing\/share-offsite\/?url=https:\/\/taxfoundation.org\/data\/all\/eu\/rd-tax-incentives-europe-2024\/\"><span class=\"simplesocialtxt\">LinkedIn<\/span><\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"simplesocial-fb-share\" aria-label=\"Facebook Share\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/taxfoundation.org\/data\/all\/eu\/rd-tax-incentives-europe-2024\/\"><span class=\"simplesocialtxt\">Facebook <\/span> <\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"simplesocial-email-share\" aria-label=\"Share through Email\" data-href=\"mailto:?subject=Tax Subsidies for R%26D Expenditures in Europe%2C 2024&amp;body=https:\/\/taxfoundation.org\/data\/all\/eu\/rd-tax-incentives-europe-2024\/\"><span class=\"simplesocialtxt\">Email<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<\/article>\n<h2>Previous Versions<\/h2>\n<aside class=\"site-main__sidebar no-print\">\n<\/aside>\n<p><\/main><\/p>\n<p><button class=\"back-to-top\" aria-label=\"Back to Top\"><br \/>\n  <i class=\"fa-solid fa-arrow-up\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<p><!-- #page --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>R&amp;D Tax Subsidies in Europe | Tax Subsidies for R&amp;D Expenditures Skip to content R&amp;D tax incentives.
