Research & Development in the Food & Beverage industry

The food and beverage industry is facing a new demand for ingredients that are healthier, eco-friendly, and taste great! As consumer preferences are evolving, food and beverage companies are engaged in more Research & Development (R&D) activities than ever before.

Latest R&D trends in this sector include plant-based foods, waste reduction and shelf life extension, non-GMO products, green & innovative packaging, and more.

Most food & beverage companies are unaware that their day-to-day operations could qualify for the Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credit, which rewards eligible companies with dollar-for-dollar tax savings on their income and/or payroll tax liability.

Examples of R&D activity in Food & Beverage

  • Improving texture or nutritional content of food product formulations
  • Integrating a new ingredient to a recipe
  • Improving machinery and equipment to ensure safe handling of food, improve productivity, and cost-efficiency
  • Creating new packaging to improve shelf life, durability, and product integrity
  • Developing innovative and/or environmentally friendly packaging material
  • Incorporating new or improved equipment into production lines
  • Experimental recipe development, including seasonal foods and drinks

Examples of R&D activity in Construction

Whether it’s integrating a new ingredient to a cookie recipe, a new seasonal beer, or a new method of improving product shelf life, there is a very wide scope of R&D in food & beverage, which makes companies in this sector a natural fit for the Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credit.

Leyton’s food and beverage team is comprised of highly qualified engineers, scientists, and tax accountants who identify all qualifying R&D activities and investments to claim maximum financial benefits for our clients in this sector.

        Leyton did an incredible job learning about, and understanding, our production process to apply R&D tax credit principles to our situation, with surprisingly minimal invasiveness to us. The credit we receive is easily worth the time we put into working with Leyton on the project.

        Leyton helped us recoup significant sums of money that we were not even aware was available to us. The process was simple and painless and I would definitely recommend working with them if you have the opportunity.
