Importance of
R&D Tax Credit
The R&D Tax Credit was introduced in 1981 to increase technical jobs in America by encouraging businesses to invest in innovation. It is now the most significant permanent tax credit available. As the competition within the American marketplace continues to intensify, companies need to utilize every resource they can. This credit intends to support innovative industries, like semiconductors, so they can reallocate funds back into their businesses to help with the following:
- Retaining and attracting more technical talent;
- Growth strategy; and
- Remaining competitive.

alliantgroup has helped thousands of SMBs claim the R&D tax credit and earn funds to invest back in their business.
5 Myths and Misunderstandings About the Credit
Unfortunately, only one out of twenty small and medium sized companies eligible for this credit takes advantage of it. Here are some of the myths that hold them back:
- The tax credit is only for companies that invent something brand new.
- This benefit is for businesses with research labs.
- The credit won’t help me with my state taxes or my bottom line.
- It’s all too good to be true!
- There will be a tax reform and the R&D credit will go away.
