Local specifics in Oeiras

Oeiras has the highest GDP per capita of mainland Portugal, driven by Tagus Park — the Iberian Peninsula's largest science and technology park — and Oeiras Valley, the municipal strategy to attract tech and innovative companies. The presence of headquarters such as Google, Amazon Web Services, Samsung and Hovione creates an ecosystem where the SIFIDE II R&D tax credit (32.5% of eligible R&D expenditure) is a fundamental tool. HVR prepares complete SIFIDE II applications, from identifying eligible expenses to ANI submission. The pharmaceutical and life sciences sector in Oeiras — with Hovione, Bayer, Merck and dozens of biotech firms in Tagus Park — generates very specific accounting needs: clinical trials with international funding, intellectual property and patent licensing, and transfer pricing regimes for intra-group transactions. HVR has direct experience with these matters, having audited companies in this sector for over 10 years. For tech SMEs in Oeiras, the RFAI (Investment Tax Support Regime) and ICE (Company Capitalisation Incentive) are tax benefits frequently underutilised. RFAI allows deducting up to 25% of relevant investment from corporate tax liability, while ICE incentivises equity strengthening. HVR systematically identifies and applies these benefits for clients in Oeiras.

Case Study: Software Company in Tagus Park

Software development company with 15 employees in Tagus Park, Oeiras. SaaS product sold to clients in Portugal, Spain and Germany. €1.2M turnover with 40% of the team dedicated to R&D.

Challenge: Never applied for SIFIDE II despite 6 developers in R&D. VAT incorrectly applied on intra-EU B2B SaaS sales. High autonomous taxation on premium vehicles assigned to management.

Solution: We prepared a retroactive SIFIDE II application (2 years), corrected B2B SaaS invoicing (reverse charge for EU clients), and restructured the vehicle policy to minimise autonomous taxation — switching to electric vehicles at 10% rate instead of 35%.

Result: SIFIDE II tax credit of €95,000 (2 years accumulated). Annual savings of €12,000 in autonomous taxation. VAT regularised without penalties.
