Status not published
Registration in the Registro Nacional de Beneficiarios del Régimen de Promoción de la Economía del Conocimiento (EDC) is open on a rolling basis, with annual recertification.
Registered companies receive a reduced corporate income tax rate, a non-transferable tax credit bond worth a percentage of employer social security contributions (higher for new hires from priority groups), and stability of the benefits. The value depends on payroll, not on a fixed grant.
