How It Works
Five structured stages. Written outputs at every step. OAM Advisory manages the process end to end.
Pre-approval timing is critical. Spend incurred before R&D Council approval may not qualify depending on how the framework is applied.

Eligibility Assessment
Project-by-project Frascati assessment at no cost and with no obligation. Covers qualifying activity, cost base, and projected credit value across applicable bands.
Readiness & Documentation Setup
Project registers, cost tracking, and timesheet protocols implemented from the start of the claim period. Contemporaneous records are materially stronger under FTA scrutiny.
UAE R&D Council Pre-Approval
Mandatory project-level pre-approval applications prepared and managed by OAM Advisory. Spend incurred before approval may not qualify depending on how the framework is applied — this stage must precede R&D expenditure.
Ongoing Activity Tracking
Periodic documentation reviews and project status assessments throughout the claim year. Additional pre-approval applications managed where the R&D programme changes.
Annual Claim & Audit Defence
Complete technical narrative, financial cost model, and FTA portal submission — reviewed internally before submission. Audit defence is included as standard.
Three progressive bands.
Each band requires both the qualifying expenditure threshold and minimum R&D headcount. Maximum total credit: AED 2,000,000 per company per year.
