Georgia and the R&D Tax Credit
The indefinite Georgia Research and Development Tax Credit is available to taxpayers with qualified research expenses (QREs), as defined by IRC §41, within the state. This credit is calculated at 10% of QREs exceeding a specific base period amount. The base amount is determined by multiplying current-year gross receipts by the lesser of two figures: either 30%, or the average ratio of aggregate QREs to Georgia gross receipts for the three preceding taxable years. Importantly, for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, any unused tax credits can be carried forward for up to five consecutive tax years.
