Chief Scientist Tnufa program

Hi.

 

Anybody here received funding through Tnufa program ?

 

My question actually is the following - in order to use Tnufa money one has to register as "osek murshe". This is fine, however the problem may arise when you actually going to raise additional capital and create a company. At this stage you will have to close your "osek murshe" and transfer all your intellectual property (patents, etc) to a newly created company. My fear is that this event may be taxable, i.e. I'm afraid that they will want to tax that investment.

 

I'm sure that I'm not the first one facing this problem. Any ideas how it can be solved ?
