R&D Tax Credits: 80% of companies that qualify don’t claim! Every year, companies throw away thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars because of simple misunderstandings surrounding the research and development (R&D) tax credit. Amendment claims can go back three years and in most situations produce sizable refunds for past R&D activities.

Small businesses in the Food and Beverage industry can benefit significantly from the Research and Development tax credit by offsetting costs associated with developing new recipes, improving production processes, or enhancing food safety. For startups with little or no income tax liability, the Research and Development payroll tax offset is especially valuable—it allows eligible companies to apply up to $500,000 annually against their payroll taxes. This can free up critical cash flow, enabling further innovation, hiring, or scaling of operations, ultimately making it easier for small food and beverage businesses to grow and stay competitive.

Food and Beverage Case Study

Bryan Beef, a US-based manufacturer of processed beef products, successfully claimed over $140,000 in federal R&D tax credits by reinventing its manufacturing process to produce certified organic beef. Previously believing its activities wouldn’t qualify, Bryan Beef discovered its eligibility after meeting with a specialist who identified numerous qualifying R&D activities within its daily operations. These activities included developing new product formulations and packaging, modifying manufacturing processes, automating functions, implementing continuous improvement projects, and redesigning machine layouts. To substantiate its claim, Bryan Beef maintained thorough documentation such as project records, design drawings, testing results, and tax invoices, ensuring it was “compliance ready” for potential IRS audits.
