Connecticut and the R&D Tax Credit
The Research and Experimental Expenditures Tax Credit is an indefinite state incentive available to corporations and flow-through entities. Taxpayers can conveniently elect both Incremental and Non-Incremental methods in a single tax year. Unused Non-Incremental credits enjoy an unlimited carryforward period, while Incremental credits have a fifteen-year carryforward. No carryback is allowed. Annually, credit usage is restricted to one-third of the credit received, requiring a mandatory carryforward of the remaining two-thirds. Additionally, businesses with gross revenues under $70 million may elect to receive a 65% refund on any unused credits. This structured credit provides vital financial support for innovative qualifying companies.
