Arizona and the R&D Tax Credit
The permanent Arizona Research and Development Income Tax Credit is available to corporations and flow-through entities. Through 2030, the credit equals 24% of the first $2.5 million in qualifying expenses and 15% on the excess. From 2031, rates adjust to 20% and 11%, respectively. Unused credits carry forward for up to 15 years. Alternatively, eligible taxpayers can elect to refund 75% of excess credits, waiving the remaining 25%. To qualify for this refund, businesses must have fewer than 150 employees, hold a Certificate of Qualification from the Arizona Commerce Authority, and have credits exceeding their current tax liability.
