Increasing production rates. Optimizing equipment performance. Integrating new technologies within legacy systems. Enhancing the functionality of products through customization. These are just a few things that industrial distributors and value-added resellers (VARs) have in mind when they run their businesses.

The IRS Faces an Unprecedented 2019 Filing Season

By |April 15th, 2019|Uncategorized|0 Comments

April, 2019
by Mark Everson, CPA, alliantgroup Vice Chairman
Published in The CPA Journal

When I served as Commissioner of Internal Revenue from 2003 through 2007, the two fears that kept me up at night were of a botched filing season and a massive data breach. The damage from either event in the current environment would extend well beyond the nation’s tax system and further erode already badly undermined faith in government itself. The continuing ability of the IRS to process tax returns and issue refunds on the one hand, and protect taxpayer information on the other, depend upon the IRS having a workforce and information systems that are up to the task. At this point, the IRS has neither.

Busy Season

The annual filing season is always job number one at the IRS, but passage of the […]

How The R&D Tax Credit Can Benefit Control System And Process Engineers

By |February 11th, 2019|system integrator article, Uncategorized|0 Comments

February 11, 2019
by Tracy Lustyan, alliantgroup Managing Director
Published in Control Engineering Magazine

It’s not often a company’s day-to-day services can lead to tax relief, but that’s the case for control system and process engineers.

Designing and implementing systems that function efficiently is the main priority for these engineers. In order to do so, system enhancements continuously need to be developed, which more often than not means one thing: spending money.

The types of technical enhancements that embody an engineer’s daily work activities are exactly what the research and development (R&D) tax credit, which brings in an estimated $10 billion annually for U.S. businesses, was created to spur.

Companies that take advantage of the incentive are able to leverage the amounts claimed to reinvest in their own innovations, and keep pace with their field of competition.
