Which figures and schemes are out of date — the R&D Tax Credit rate, the Innovation Voucher value, the KDB sunset and EIIS — so you do not rely on stale information.

dgm is an independent osFoundry implementation partner — not affiliated with osFoundry’s developer (the company OS LLC), and it has not yet completed any client integrations.

Some figures and schemes that still appear in search are out of date — do not plan around stale information.

What the scheme actually gives

  • R&D Tax Credit: the old “25%” and “30%” rates are outdated — use 35% for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026.
  • Innovation Voucher: the commonly cited “€5,000” is outdated — the standard voucher is €10,000 (co-funded up to €20,000); the KDB rate is now 10% (not 6.25%) and is scheduled to sunset for periods on or after 1 January 2027.
  • EIIS (an income-tax relief for individual investors, not a grant to the company) is scheduled to end on 31 December 2026 unless renewed — do not present it as a long-term certainty.

Does it fund buying AI software?

Always confirm a scheme is still active and the rate is current at the primary source (Revenue, Enterprise Ireland, IDA) before planning around it. A platform such as osFoundry lowers the cost structurally through usage-based pricing and the BYOK principle — which helps more than waiting for support that does not cover software.

Important note

This article is general information and is not legal, tax or grant advice. Tax schemes, grants, rules and rates change, and only the relevant authorities (among them Revenue, IDA Ireland, Enterprise Ireland, the Data Protection Commission and the Central Bank of Ireland) decide eligibility and awards. dgm is not a grant deliverer, approved knowledge provider or intermediary. Always confirm the current terms with the official source or a qualified tax or legal adviser.

How dgm helps

dgm is an independent implementation partner that helps businesses in Ireland adopt osFoundry — from identifying the first practical use case, through building it, to connecting AI to the systems you already use. dgm works independently of osFoundry’s developer (the company OS LLC) and has not yet completed any client integrations; everything above is therefore a description of the service offered, not a delivered result. If you would like to look at a sensible first step, dgm is happy to think it through with you. Arrange a no-obligation conversation with dgm.
