Growing a business eventually calls for the development of new products,
technologies, and even industries in and of themselves, in addition to brand-new
organizational structures. This expansion is essential not only to the success
of your own business but also to the success of the entire economy, the
progression of which is dependent on innovation.

However, innovation is impossible without spending much money on research and
development. There is a good chance that fostering such changes will either lead
to a loss of capital or result in the absence of a return on investment. Some
companies decide against investing in research and development because of the
costs associated with doing so. Nevertheless, the government founded a law
wherein a company can claim R&D tax credits. This was established as an
incentive for companies to maintain their level of innovative activity.


ABOUT R&D TAX CREDITS

The R&D Tax Credit is a provision of the Internal Revenue Code of the United
States that helps foster economic expansion by motivating businesses to
invest in research, innovation, and new technologies.

It was first put into effect in 1981, and since then, it has been revised
annually throughout the three decades that have followed. The PATH Act was
signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2015, and one of its provisions,
the Research and Development (R&D) Tax Benefit, was made permanent at that time.
Additionally, the PATH Act expanded the number of other aspects of credit. Since
2016, the credit for R&D against taxes can be used to offset payroll taxes for
new businesses, and it can also be used to offset the alternative minimum tax.
Both of these options were previously unavailable. Additional changes to the tax
credit were included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), which was ultimately
put into effect in 2022.

The value of a tax credit can be deducted from the taxpayer’s overall tax
liability, making it possible for the taxpayer to operate their business in a
tax-efficient manner. One can file a claim for R&D tax credits for those
expenses that are paid or spent for eligible research, as the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) stated.


THE ADVANTAGES THAT R&D TAX CREDITS OFFERS

It is commonly believed that providing tax credits to corporations for research
and development will improve the economy by boosting the innovation. On the
other hand, business organizations believe these advantages may be lost due to
the new amortization provisions included in the TCJA. Instead of being able to
take a deduction for research and development expenses immediately, firms will
be required by the TCJA to amortize those expenses over a period of five years
beginning in 2022. According to research by the Tax Foundation, an independent
organization that conducts research on tax policy, eliminating the amortization
rules will benefit both workers and businesses because it will increase economic
output and wages while creating an estimated 19,500 new jobs.

However, companies that are currently making use of the R&D credit are able to
profit from lower tax liability. Because of this, it can serve as a source of
income for a variety of different small and medium-sized businesses. The
following are the functions of the R&D credit:

• Your federal and state tax responsibilities will be reduced for the current
and future years. 

• Your company’s market value and cash flow will increase. 

• Your effective tax rate will be significantly lowered.

• You will be able to keep a more significant portion of your profits.


DETERMINING IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO CLAIM THE R&D TAX CREDITS

In 2004, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) modified the terminology that was
used to determine who could claim R&D tax credits. The credit can now be claimed
by the vast majority of businesses, including those that put their products
through rigorous testing, make use of engineers, conduct data science and
analysis, or contract out their product development.

To be eligible for the credit, your company must demonstrate that the research
included some component of hard science. Even if you participate in research or
test out new items, however, you are not eligible for the credit if you run a
restaurant, for instance, or are an accountant. If you run a business in the
“humanities” and you try to claim this tax credit, the Internal Revenue Service
will be more likely to audit your company.


DOCUMENTS NEEDED IN CLAIMING R&D TAX CREDITS

When it comes to claiming R&D tax credits, the IRS will not clarify what
constitutes “adequate documentation.” The burden of proof, however, rests
squarely on the shoulders of the taxpayer; this implies that in the event that
your company is subjected to an audit, you should keep as much data as possible
pertaining to your R&D activities. The following is a list of the documents that
you should always have on hand:

• Information regarding payroll for personnel who are actively involved in R&D,
as well as for staff or managers 

• Copies of contractual agreements and receipts paid to any contractors who do
third-party research for you 

• Timekeeping records for payroll, work plans, meetings, and other activities to
prove they were related to R&D. 

General ledger reports that list which business expenditures and supplies were
related to R&D and which ones were not.

• Drafting of designs, test results, architectural blueprints, status reports,
promotional materials, and any other paperwork that demonstrates the method and
results of your research.


WAYS TO IMPROVE R&D TAX CREDITS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES

R&D tax credits can be put to a variety of beneficial uses by small businesses.
Eligible small businesses might receive tax credits for research expenses, even
if those expenses go up over time. In order to qualify for this credit, you will
need to demonstrate that your business’s expenses have grown since the previous
year.

If a qualified small business does not have an income tax burden, you may be
able to use this credit to offset the FICA part of payroll taxes that you are
required to pay, up to a maximum of $250,000. Small businesses that classify as
“qualified” have yearly gross receipts that are less than $5 million and have
had gross receipts for a period of not over five years. Your small firm is able
to take advantage of tax credits for its research expenses as a result of this
provision, even if it has not yet started to generate income.
