R & D Tax Credits

Research & Development Tax Credits The Research & Development (R&D) tax credit is one of the most significant domestic tax credits remaining under current tax law – a substantial tool for maximizing a company’s cash flow and bottom line. No one can afford to leave money on the table. Nevertheless, when it comes to the R&D credit, cash is left untouched all the time. Despite the fact that the R&D credit has been available since 1981, less than a third of eligible companies recognize that they qualify for the credit. Even if companies claim an R&D credit, they frequently do not claim the entire credit to which they are entitled, either because they do not understand what qualifies or do not have the processes in place to properly document the credit. The credit is a dollar-for-dollar cash offset against your taxes and can be significant if properly pursued.
