Proper Documentation
Protect Your Research Allowance
Proper documentation protects your research funding from rejections, delays, and clawbacks – even years after approval.
The Research Allowance Review Process
Initial approval does not guarantee continued funding. Without proper documentation, even disbursed funds may have to be repaid with interest.
The BSFZ assesses whether your project qualifies as R&D under the Research Allowance Act.
The Innoscripta team reviews your records and ensures complete, transparent, accurate, and consistent documentation of your projects together with you.
The tax office retroactively assesses the applicant’s eligibility for funding and determines the annual grant amount.
Even years later, your research allowance project may be audited, requiring detailed historical records to prove all funded expenditures.
