Reward Innovation In Business
The Research and Development Tax Credit provides significant tax credits for businesses across the United States that undergo research activities to improve or develop their products, processes, or software.
The R&D Tax Credit was introduced through the Economic Recovery Act of 1981 offering reimbursement for business activities and resources that were utilized during the research. This is eligible through both State and Federal R&D Tax Credits.
Tax Credits For Industries Of All Types
Money earned back in the form of credits can be used to offset the costs spent performing Qualified Research Activities (QRAs). The R&D tax credit promotes innovation within businesses and encourages them to take risks, be creative, and become leaders in their industry.
R&D tax credits go beyond high-tech, biotech, and pharmaceutical industries. In fact, the research and development credit is available to businesses across a wide span of industries. Furthermore, businesses are no longer required to strictly develop a product or process that is unique to their industry; it only needs to be unique to them.
Businesses in all 50 states can receive dollar-for-dollar federal tax credits from R&D activities.
All U.S. Businesses are Eligible
Businesses across the United States are able to take advantage of the R&D Tax Credit. Each state allows businesses performing qualifying research activities to take advantage of the credit on a federal level, which provides a significant tax reduction to current and future tax liabilities.
Some states also allow the R&D tax credits to be taken advantage of on a state level. State-level credits provide similar benefits to federal tax credits, with additional perks.
In order to benefit from R&D tax credits, all research activities performed by qualifying companies must be thoroughly documented.
