WHAT IS THE R&D TAX CREDIT?

The R&D tax credit is a tax incentive that rewards taxpayers for increasing investment in U.S.-based research activities. The R&D tax credit is available to businesses that uncover new, improved or technologically advanced products, processes, principles, methodologies or materials. In addition to “revolutionary” activities, the credit may also be available if the company has performed “evolutionary” activities such as investing time, money and resources toward improving its products and processes.
