R&D is often misunderstood. It’s not just about building something new, and it’s not limited to labs or engineers. Some activities qualify, others don’t, and the distinction isn’t always obvious. This is about understanding how R&D is viewed in practice, and why getting that definition right early makes a real difference later.

So, let's clear something up. What actually qualifies for R&D? Well, you don't need a lab coat to qualify for the UAE's R&D tax credit. If you're solving technical challenges, running tests, building or improving products, you're likely doing R&D. Got a dev team experimenting with new features, running AB tests, tweaking algorithms, that possibly counts. This credit is designed to support the real work founders and engineers are doing every year. But most companies won't realize they qualify until it's too late. Now, RDvault helps you track it all automatically. FTA ready.
