Research & Development
About The Service
The Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credit was signed into law by Congress as part of the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981. The purpose of the credit is to encourage American industries to invest in innovation and creativity, and to stimulate economic growth through tax incentives.
The PATH Act of 2015 made the R&D Tax Credit permanent, as well as opened it up to Startups and Small Businesses.
