Preferred Business Partner HighPeak Advisors help companies take advantage of powerful tax savings
February’s Preferred Business Partner, HighPeak Advisors, is a national, full-service tax credit firm that specializes in helping innovative companies across the United States take advantage of powerful tax savings every year with the R&D tax credit.
Introduction
The R&D tax credit can be a valuable source of capital for companies in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, engineering, architecture, and software. Unfortunately, most companies are unaware of the incentives or have misconceptions on what makes a company eligible, and miss out on the tax credits they deserve. All companies investing in developing new products/processes or improving existing ones can benefit from R&D tax credits. There is a wide range of activities that qualify as “research and development,” which can result in a significant tax credit.
Examples of qualified activities
- Tooling and equipment fixture design and development
- Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE)
- Electrical and plumbing systems design for efficient power usage
- Designing and developing software applications
What is the R&D Credit?
The R&D Tax Credit is a federal business tax credit under IRS section 41. Over 30 states offer a separate state credit. This is a labor-based credit that is mainly generated by the wages you pay your W2 employees, and fees paid to subcontractors (must be located in the US). Additionally, a portion of your costs of supplies and prototypes can be captured to generate more credits. This is a great benefit to companies in all applicable industries.
