Qualifying Industries for the Research and Development Tax Credit

By October 5, 2017 May 7th, 2018 Uncategorized
It can often come as a big surprise when CPAs and businesses learn how many different industries are eligible for the Research & Development Tax Credit (R&D). These federal and state tax credits offer excellent opportunities to convert R&D expenses (developing new or improved products, processes or software) to valuable R&D tax credits. This incentive is the most valuable program an innovative company can claim. It is a dollar-for-dollar offset against previous, current, and future tax year liabilities.

This credit provides a competitive advantage for businesses that develop, design or improve products and techniques. Companies of all industries range between 10-20% ROI for their R&D efforts. For 2016 with the credit’s permanency, we anticipate our client’s benefits to nearly double.

Plus, recent IRS regulations have made it easier to qualify for many businesses. A revised method of computing the R&D Tax Credit and the desire of the US government to increase domestic R&D activity have all made it easier for companies to claim these credits. It is however important to find a provider to help capture and substantiate these credits – that’s where Indago comes in.
