## Description

This MCP server provides a specialized calculation engine for evaluating Intellectual Property (IP) Box regimes across European jurisdictions. It allows AI agents to determine the financial viability of tax incentives by calculating gross tax savings using `calculate_tax_savings`, estimating the operational costs of maintaining local presence with `estimate_substance_costs`, and verifying compliance with OECD BEPS Nexus Approach rules via `validate_nexus_compliance`. Finally, it computes the total economic value through `calculate_net_benefit`, accounting for both tax reductions and the necessary costs of economic substance.

## Tools

### calculate_net_benefit
Provides the final economic evaluation of the IP incentive

### calculate_tax_savings
Determines the gross tax reduction provided by the IP Box regime

### estimate_substance_costs
Calculates the minimum operational expenditure required to meet local jurisdiction compliance

### validate_nexus_compliance
Verifies if the income qualifies for the incentive under BEPS Nexus Approach rules

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the tax savings for an IP income of €1,000,000 with a standard tax rate of 25% and an IP Box rate of 5%.
```

**Response:** 
```
The gross tax savings for an IP income of €1,000,000 is €200,000.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the estimated cost for a medium level of substance with 5 employees?
```

**Response:** 
```
The estimated annual substance cost for a medium level of presence with 5 employees is €150,000.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
If I have €200,000 in tax savings and €50,000 in substance costs, what is my net benefit?
```

**Response:** 
```
The net benefit is €150,000.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this tool handle BEPS compliance?**
The tool uses `validate_nexus_compliance` to ensure that only the portion of income directly linked to qualifying R&D expenditure is eligible for the reduced tax rate, following the OECD Nexus Approach.

**What are substance requirements?**
Substance requirements refer to the economic presence needed in a jurisdiction, such as employees and physical infrastructure, to legally claim tax benefits. You can estimate these costs using `estimate_substance_costs`.

**Can I calculate the final profitability of an IP incentive?**
Yes, by using `calculate_net_benefit`, you can subtract the estimated substance costs from the gross tax savings to find the true net economic benefit.
