2026 FINANCE LAW
Investing in R&D is nowmandatory
1%
of taxable profit to be invested in R&D or innovation every year.
DZD 2 bn
in annual revenue: the threshold above which the requirement applies.
A tax
levied on the gap between this minimum and actual R&D spending.
In force since January 1, 2026 (Article 119). Since the order of October 11, 2026, R&D spending is declared on innovation.gov.dz before January 31, with supporting documents.
Four situations we encounter in almost every company that invests in R&D.
Scattered, poorly prioritized R&D projects.
R&D projects run in isolation, without clear priorities, leading to inefficient use of resources.
A gap between strategy and operations.
Strategic direction and day-to-day execution drift apart, undermining the consistency and effectiveness of actions.
Incentive schemes underused or misused
Incentive schemes are under-leveraged or poorly applied, reducing their impact and effectiveness.
A critical incident occurs, and information travels too slowly.
When a critical incident occurs, information flows slowly, delaying decisions and the right response.
The value of R&D investments is hard to demonstrate.
The value and impact of R&D investments are hard to measure and justify clearly.
THE PLATFORM
From strategy to decision
Set the direction
Your strategic priorities become measurable objectives, then programs and projects, each with an owner, a budget and a priority.
Drive execution
Every project is tracked day to day: progress, milestones and deliverables, using one method shared by all your teams.
Control costs and variances
The actual cost of every project, planned-versus-actual variances, independent audits: overruns are caught early, and your funding applications rest on reliable figures.
Focus on what matters
Leadership sees what needs its attention without getting lost in the details: at-risk projects, budget overruns, open issues.

WHAT WE DO
One platform, and a team by your side
The ITHRIA platform
Connect your R&D strategy to execution, measure costs and variances, and give leadership a clear view for decision-making. As a government-labeled startup, ITHRIA’s platform may qualify as an innovation expense.
R&D tax incentives
We prepare your R&D tax benefit application and file it for you, based on documented costs.
Advisory and training
Our experts help you structure your RD&I approach and train your teams in R&D roles and R&D management.
Answers to the questions we’re asked most often. Don’t see yours? The form below comes straight to us.
Is my company affected by the 2026 Finance Law?
Article 119 of the 2026 Finance Law applies to companies incorporated under Algerian law with annual revenue of at least DZD 2 billion: they must invest at least 1% of their taxable profit in research, development or innovation, or pay a tax on the shortfall. The sectors concerned and implementation details are set by regulation; our teams track these developments and help you see where your company stands during the assessment.
Does Ithria help with R&D tax exemptions in Algeria?
Yes. The platform structures the information required on innovation.gov.dz (activities, expenses, resources, results), and our teams can prepare and file the application for you. As Ithria is a government-labeled startup, using the platform may itself qualify as an innovation expense.
Do we have to give up our current tools?
No. Ithria connects to your existing software, either automatically or through file imports (Excel, CSV…). Our team supports you so that everything is up and running quickly.
What if our teams are new to R&D?
That’s often where our clients start. We offer hands-on training in R&D and innovation management, tailored to the Algerian context, and we support you in structuring your approach.
