About The R&D Tax Credit

The Research & Development Tax Credit is a federal incentive that allows companies to reduce income tax liability in the current tax year, and receive a cash refund for taxes paid in the last three years.

Many states have implemented their own version of the R&D Tax Credit, and qualifying businesses can claim both! In 2015, when the Protecting Americans From Tax Hikes (PATH) Act was put into place, the R&D Tax Credit became permanent, which revised qualifications that greatly expanded the eligibility for businesses to qualify. With these changes, qualifying small businesses may claim the Payroll Tax Credit to offset some of their payroll tax liability.

The majority of businesses are unaware that their daily operations could qualify to a dollar-for-dollar Tax Credit, irrespective of industry or company size. An activity that meets the 4-part test is a qualifying research activity and can potentially qualify for claiming R&D Tax Credit.

About Grants

The Grants & Incentives landscape for innovative companies in the US is extensive. There are funding opportunities available to companies of all sizes and across a plethora of industries.

Given the vastness of the space, most technology-driven businesses are not aware of all the incentives they may be eligible for. Leyton’s Grants & Incentives services demystify this landscape by helping businesses identify relevant funding opportunities and assisting in applying for them.
