In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, many businesses are taking a fresh look at the R&D tax credit which can help to immediately conserve cash flow and, in some instances, recoup funds. The R&D credit has been around for decades as a temporary provision and was recently made permanent under the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act and preserved under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). While it was originally designed to offset income tax liability, new legislation also allows for certain eligible small businesses to utilize it against alternative minimum tax and payroll tax. The qualification requirements for the credit are far broader than what many companies realize, making it a highly underutilized tax planning tool.
During the webinar session, Krajcer and Jones-Worner will lay out the fundamentals of the credit and discuss the legislative changes that have made it a solid long-term tax strategy, especially during these uncertain economic times. Attendees will also hear real-world examples, examine recent case studies and explore new potential R&D tax credit opportunities sparked by COVID-19. Don’t miss out on this crucial tax information that can positively impact your business and clients!
