Are you working on a technical innovation project that is facing substantial difficulties? Then you may be eligible for the WBSO subsidy, a government tax regulation that partially compensates the costs of R&D projects by providing a discount on wage taxes (S&O) and reimbursement of material costs. WBSO subsidie

The WBSO (Wet Bevordering Speur-en Ontwikkelingswerk) subsidy enables companies and self-employed entrepreneurs to save significantly on their wage costs for R&D work and to get a discount of 32% or even 40% of their S&O. This reduction in wage tax helps companies of all sizes to invest more in innovative projects and thus contributes to technological advancement.

WBSO Subsidy 2024: Key Updates and Changes

After you have been granted the WBSO subsidy, it is essential to properly record and track your R&D hours, projects, and costs. Inaccurate administration can result in a loss of your benefit or even in a rejection of your application by the RVO.

This is why many companies choose to hire an external advisor who takes care of the entire application process and assists them in setting up the proper administration. But this service can be costly, especially for smaller companies that rely heavily on the WBSO subsidy.

Prosuma offers a different approach to this issue: we guide you throughout the entire WBSO process and provide you with a professional administration. We also support you during any inspections of your company by the RVO and take care of reporting the realized R&D hours and costs at the end of a calendar year to which a WBSO decision relates.
