Research And Development Tax Credit

The tax definition of Research and Development (R&D) encompasses much more than “white lab coat” activities. The R&D tax credit is now a permanent incentive for companies that conduct qualified research and development activities in the US. FGMK will help you identify your company’s qualified R&D activities and maximize your R&D tax credit, allowing you to reduce your federal and state tax burdens, and lower the after-tax cost of conducting R&D.

FGMK specialists use their extensive knowledge of the federal and state laws and their application to maximize and substantiate the R&D tax credit benefits. We recognize the importance of providing value while minimizing the impact on your company’s daily operations.
