R&D Tax Credit for Qualifying Small Businesses
The Payroll Tax Credit
This version of the R&D Credit was created in December 2015 through the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act to benefit younger companies with no or a very small income tax liability. The Payroll Tax Credit can be claimed for a maximum of 5 years by a Qualified Small Business.
How to Qualify for Payroll Tax Credits?
- To be considered a Qualified Small Business, your company did not have gross receipts for any years preceding the 5 tax year period ending with the credit year
- The gross receipts must be below $5M per year
- Each year qualifying companies can claim a maximum of $250K, or a total of $1.25M across the 5 years
What can this mean for your business?
