What is the RIC and how can it help your company finance your technology investment?
The Canary Islands Investment Reserve (RIC) is one of the most significant tax incentives under the Canary Islands Economic and Tax Regime. It allows taxpayers conducting business on the islands to allocate a portion of their undistributed profits to a reserve that reduces the tax base, resulting in tax savings, with the commitment to invest that reserve within a specific timeframe and in investments that fall within the scope of eligible uses for the incentive.
That said, this tax incentive helps companies optimize their tax situation, allowing those tax savings to increase the resources available for financing investments. In short, the RIC represents a tax advantage that functions as an additional source of investment financing.
