R&D TAX CREDIT: CALIFORNIA

The Research and Development (R&D) tax credit is a Federal 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.

THE VALUE

The R&D tax credit is primarily a wage-based credit, which is worth approximately 6.5% of qualified R&D activities. Thus, a taxpayer with $1M of qualified wages could receive a $65,000 benefit. Many states, including California, also offer R&D tax credit that can greatly enhance the value of the study. Further, the credit can often be claimed for prior tax years.

“ICS Tax made a daunting and technical process very simple and painless. They were also able to help us generate significant savings. We’ve been using their services for three years and will definitely keep coming back.”
