Tax Credits & Incentives

Definitely!  There are a number of avenues to explore, such as accelerated depreciation methods and Section 179 expensing, energy efficient tax credits, and cost segregation studies, all of which may yield tax savings to offset the cost of construction.

The Research & Development (R&D) Credit may be just the thing you are looking for.  This credit is often overlooked as many people don’t realize the wide range of industries eligible to claim this credit.  The IRS improved the R&D Credit by allowing its utilization against the alternative minimum tax (AMT), greatly expanding the benefit our clients reap from this incentive.  The R&D Credit is a dollar for dollar reduction of your tax – savings of which can assist in offsetting the costs to improve and develop products.
