Session Description

One of the most under-utilized tax savings opportunities for finishers is the U.S. Credit for Increasing Research Activities (R&D tax credit). The R&D tax credit rewards companies who invest resources in innovation, product development, process and technique development, new materials or resins, and process development/improvement. In addition to Federal tax savings, several states have a similar program that rewards companies for the development or improvement to its products or processes.

The types of activities that may qualify for the R&D tax credit include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Developing new processing techniques
  • Developing new product designs or solutions
  • Custom product design and development
  • Experimenting with new materials
  • Experimenting with novel processing and manufacturing techniques
  • Experimenting with new decorating technologies
  • Developing new foil stamping techniques or coatings

This presentation will address the following:

  • The types of activities that may qualify for the R&D tax credit
  • The types of expenditures that are eligible for the R&D tax credit
  • How eligible small businesses (companies with <$50 million in sales) may offset the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) in 2016 and thereafter
  • The types of documentation necessary to substantiate a R&D tax credit claim
  • A look at new treasury regulations that may expand upon eligible expenditures for finishers
