What specific engineering activities qualify for R&D tax credits?
A significant portion of your firm’s work likely qualifies. This includes activities like developing new or improved designs, creating and testing prototypes, using advanced modeling or simulation software to evaluate alternatives, and developing more efficient processes. Our specialists conduct a thorough study to identify every qualifying activity and maximize your credit.
