tebu-bio, a distributor of reagents and laboratory services in life sciences, announced the renewal of its C.I.R. (Crédit d'Impôt Recherche) accreditation for the period 2014–2016. The French Research Tax Credit scheme allows eligible companies to claim tax relief when outsourcing R&D activities to accredited organisations.
The accreditation, first obtained in 2008, confirms that tebu-bio's laboratory facilities in Le-Perray-en-Yvelines (Paris area) meet the standards required for conducting qualifying research and development work on behalf of partner companies.

- Eligibility for tax relief on outsourced R&D expenditure
