The Research and Development (R&D) tax credit is a government incentive designed to encourage innovation and technological advancement among businesses. Established in 1981, the credit allows eligible businesses to offset a portion of their income tax liability with qualified R&D expenses. These expenses typically include wages for employees engaged in R&D activities, costs associated with developing new products or processes, and expenses related to research conducted outside the company.
R&D tax credit aims to stimulate economic growth by fostering innovation across various industries, from technology and pharmaceuticals to manufacturing and engineering. It serves as a financial incentive for companies to invest in research that contributes to the development of new technologies, products, or improved processes. Over the years, the R&D tax credit has been a valuable tool for businesses to remain competitive on a global scale and to promote a culture of innovation within the United States.
