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.

In addition to money, you will save yourself the time and stress!

Finally with our wide range of reports you will be able to track your payroll dollars more expertly.
