Why choose our Research Organisation?
Thanks to the experience gained over the years in the research sector and the work of translating into Italian and publishing the OECD Frascati 2015 and Oslo 2018 Manuals, reference sources in R&D&I tax credit legislation and MIMIT certification guidelines, RING ODR offers businesses professionalism and competence, reliability, transparency and specialised support.
RING ODR is not just a certifier, but a strategic partner for your business success!
Why does our service stand out?
RING ODR has structured the service in 3 phases to allow you to monitor progress and evaluate whether to proceed with the service following the outcome of the 1st step. The first step involves an analysis of project validity. In the second step, all requirements are verified in detail. In the third step, the Certification is issued and operational assistance is provided for the required fulfilments.
This approach guarantees transparency and continuous monitoring, offering a professional and reliable service.
Benefits for your company
Regulatory validity and compliance: the certification ensures that R&D activities comply with current legislation, guaranteeing the company access to tax benefits in accordance with the criteria established by the discipline and thus reducing any legal risks.
Optimisation of tax benefits: the certification allows an accurate evaluation of R&D projects and guarantees the eligibility of expenses incurred, enabling the maximisation of the tax benefit and improving the company's profitability.
Reduction of dispute risk: the verification and attestation by an accredited certifier minimise the risk of disputes from the Tax Authority, offering transparency and business security in a complex regulatory context.
Operational certainty: the certification provides a clear and detailed picture of R&D activities and ensures greater operational certainty, as well as secure and transparent management of investments, optimising the planning and allocation of business resources.
MIMIT publishes tax credit guidelines
With the decree of 4 July 2024, the Guidelines for the correct application of the tax credit were approved. From 08 July, authorised Certifying Bodies will be able to submit the necessary documents to certify the R&D&I projects of the requesting companies through the platform.
Contact us. RING ODR, listed in the MIMIT registry with number #204 is ready to support you.
R&D Credit Certification: Process and Requirements
The certification can be requested for credits used retroactively or prospectively, provided there are no prior formal disputes. It is issued by the authorised Certifying Body, following the assessment of the compliance of R&D activities, and sent to MIMIT for checks and any integrations. Once the deadlines for MIMIT verification activities have passed, the Certification becomes binding on the Tax Authority.

An incentive that supports the competitiveness, innovation and technological progress of businesses. This instrument offers a tax benefit in the form of a tax credit for expenses incurred in research, development, technological innovation and design activities.
The Frascati 2015 and Oslo 2018 Manuals are our "guide" for correctly setting up the "Certification" activities of R&D&I projects. The OECD Manuals represent a reference source in R&D&I tax credit legislation and in the guidelines that Certifying Bodies must follow to attest the qualification of investments made or to be made by businesses in research, development, innovation, design and aesthetic creation. In the complex regulatory context governing R&D&I credit discipline, the Italian translation of the Frascati 2015 and Oslo 2018 Manuals is essential to avoid interpretation errors that could compromise access to the tax benefit. Our editorial project aims to disseminate knowledge by developing studies and documents on topics of greatest interest in the field of research and innovation.
RING ODR has structured the service activities in 3 steps to allow the company to monitor the progress of the service and decide following the outcome of the 1st step whether to continue or stop the activities.
STEP 1 - Opening of the “PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSTIC CHECK” file to carry out an initial analysis and provide initial feedback on the validity of projects or sub-projects.
STEP 2 - 1st phase of analysis and verification: “ANALYTICAL DIAGNOSTIC CHECK” to complete the analysis and verify in detail the completeness of subjective, objective, documentary and project requirements.
STEP 3 - 2nd phase of evaluation and attestation: “VALIDATION” aimed at issuing the Certification and operational assistance to carry out all required fulfilments.
For a correct procedure:
• within 15 days of issuing the certification to the company: the Certifier must provide a copy of the certification to MIMIT, which checks the activities carried out by the Certifiers, verifying the formal correctness of the certifications issued and the correspondence of their content with the incentive provisions and the «Guidelines»;
• within 90 days from the date of receipt of the certification: MIMIT may request the Certifier, notifying the company, to send the technical, contractual and accounting documentation relevant for the evaluation;
• within the following 15 days (extendable in extraordinary situations by a further 15 days): the Certifier must send the documentation and satisfy MIMIT's supplementary requests;
• within 60 days following the submission of the supplementary documentation: MIMIT completes the audit activity.
