Since 2011, the Productivity and Innovation Credit (PIC) scheme, managed by IRAS, has helped many businesses increase productivity and innovation, resulting in improved competitiveness and lower operating costs. In fact, companies can enjoy a 400% tax deduction and/or 40% cash payout for investment in the six qualifying activities below:

• Research & Development
• Registration of intellectual property rights such as trademarks and patents
• Acquisition of intellectual property
• Acquisition and leasing of PIC information technology (IT) and automation equipment
• Employee training
• Design projects approved by Design Singapore Council

To qualify for the PIC cash payout option, businesses must have active business operations in Singapore with at least 3 local employees for whom they contribute CPF for three months before the date of the PIC claim.
