RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT TAX CREDIT
IDENTIFYING QUALIFIED INCURRED RESEARCH EXPENSES
GET THE CREDITS YOU DESERVE
The Research & Development (R&D) tax credit is one of the most significant domestic tax credits remaining under current tax law – a substantial tool maximizing a company’s cash flow and bottom line. 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. Every company improves products and processes to remain competitive, the government rewards them through this tax benefit.
