Is my company eligible for the CII?

If you are an SME (less than 250 employees, revenue < €50M) and you develop new products or processes, there is a strong chance you are. The diagnostic is free, we check in 30 minutes.

How much can we recover?

20% of your eligible innovation expenses, capped at €400K base. That's up to €80K/year. Expenses include: R&D salaries, subcontracting (including PeakLab), equipment, patents.

What is the risk in case of tax audit?

With a well-prepared technical file, the risk is very low. PeakLab writes justifications compliant with Ministry of Research requirements. And we support you if there is an audit.

How much does CII support cost?

From €3,000 or 10% of the recovered amount. The support itself is CII-eligible, so it partially funds itself.

What is the difference between CII and CIR (Research Tax Credit)?

CIR covers fundamental research (30% of expenses). CII covers innovation (20% of expenses, €400K cap). Software development projects are often CII-eligible.

The CII: a lever that 99% of SMEs ignore

The Innovation Tax Credit allows SMEs to recover 20% of their innovation expenses (capped at €400K, meaning up to €80K/year). Only 1% of French companies use it. Why? Because the technical file preparation is complex and most SMEs don't even know they are eligible.
