The Research and Development (R&D) tax credit, coupled with the Employee Retention Credit (ERC), is a significant incentive provided by the U.S. government to encourage innovation and sustain businesses during challenging times. These credits, detailed within the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, have become essential tools for companies to offset tax liabilities while promoting investment in new technologies and retaining employees. For businesses considering these tax credits, it is crucial to understand the eligibility criteria, the benefits and the steps required to maximize these opportunities.
The R&D tax credit, regulated under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code, is designed to encourage companies to invest in research and development activities within the United States. This credit allows businesses to reduce their tax liability by a percentage of qualified research expenditures (QREs) related to the development or improvement of products, processes or software. The R&D credit applies to businesses across a wide range of industries, from manufacturing and technology to agriculture and healthcare.
