Industries Served

Did you know that while more than 14,000 U.S. companies claim federal R&D credits annually, less than 33% of companies that qualify for the credits actually claim them.

Many companies are unaware of the vast amount of business activities that qualify them for Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credits programs the government offers. Without the proper knowledge many companies fail to get the credits they deserve, every year.

To qualify for the Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credit, an activity must meet all four items of the “Four-Part Test”. The IRS Four-Part Test requires:

1. a new or improved business component (product, process, technique, invention, formula or software)
2. the business component to be technological in nature
3. elimination of uncertainty
4. a process of experimentation

Many companies self-censor themselves incorrectly assuming that research and development is limited to laboratories and scientists. Companies are unaware that they DO in fact qualify for R&D tax credit programs because a wide range of common activities will qualify them for credit under the IRS definition described above.

The R&D tax credit is an opportunity too good to be overlooked. Our experts at BRS have helped numerous businesses across a wide-range of industries to identify, qualify and quantify their R&D activities.
