The R&D tax credit program is one of the greatest sources of non-dilutive funding available to companies today. It reimburses up to 10% of your R&D expenses, either as a tax credit for profitable companies or even as a cash refund for unprofitable startups. So why are 80% of eligible California companies still not taking advantage of this program? This Clinic will begin by explaining the fundamentals of the R&D tax credit program from a technical point of view. We’ll then move on to the legal and financial aspects of a claim to help you determine how much you can get back, and tell you when you can claim expenses on contracts where you get paid to do R&D. Finally, for those already claiming, we’ll go over the many lesser-known expenses you can claim to help you maximize your refund. Recommended for owners, presidents, and CFOs of innovative companies of any size and pre-startups exploring ways to fund their starts.
