UAE R&D Tax Credit · Cabinet Decision No. 215 of 2025

Build the UAE’s R&D economy with us.

The UAE R&D Tax Credit will reward the businesses that innovate – and the advisers, investors and institutions around them. We partner with the people who serve those businesses, bringing sixteen years of chartered R&D expertise to the region’s newest incentive.

01 · Ways to partner

A partnership for every part of the ecosystem.

Whoever you advise or back, we make R&D tax a strength you can offer them – done properly, and to chartered standards.

For advisers

Accountants & advisory firms

Offer your clients specialist R&D tax without building the capability in-house. Transparent referral terms, chartered delivery, and your relationship stays yours.

For investors

VCs & investors

Help portfolio companies extend their runway. The UAE credit can return a meaningful share of qualifying R&D spend – non-dilutive capital your founders keep.

For programmes

Incubators & accelerators

Give your cohorts an edge from day one. We run education sessions and readiness reviews so your startups prepare claims correctly from their first year.

 
For institutions

Innovation hubs & free zones

Strengthen your value proposition to tenants and members with credible, compliant R&D tax support built for the UAE regime.
