If you received an R&D statement in 2022, you must notify the subsidy provider before 1 April 2023 about the R&D hours realized and the costs and expenses that serve R&D. This is passed on digitally in the eLoket of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO). It is important that you make the announcement in a timely manner. If you don't, you run the risk that the total WBSO benefit received for 2022 will lapse.
Statement realization WBSO
Announcement realization WBSO 2022
Now that the year 2022 has come to an end, RVO requests that the R&D hours actually realized and possibly the costs and expenditure per application period be communicated. The deadline is March 31, 2023. Under certain conditions, unused R&D hours (and costs and expenses) in a certain period may be carried over to a follow-up period within the same calendar year. The R&D hours and costs and expenses incurred in the follow-up period are included in the statement for the period to which it was originally allocated.
Important: It is not possible to offset too many spent R&D hours and costs and expenses in a certain period with the unused part of the R&D hours and costs and expenses in a follow-up period in the same calendar year. Feel free to contact Ugoo. We are happy to help you!
BSN notification
To determine the R&D hourly wage for 2022 (this determines the amount of the WBSO subsidy benefit), RVO requests you to provide the BSNs of the R&D employees in 2022. If you make use of the WBSO for the first time in 2022, the fixed hourly rate of €29 will still apply in 2023. If you continue the WBSO in 2022, a fixed hourly rate will apply from that moment on, based on the wage data of the R&D employees of 2022.
Tip: report BSNs of your R&D employees at the same time as reporting the realization of the WBSO. This way you immediately comply with all notification obligations. This way you do not run the risk that the processing of your first WBSO application for 2022 will be delayed, because the notification from the BSNs has been overlooked.
