Michigan and the R&D Tax Credit
The permanent Michigan Research and Development Tax Credit is explicitly designed to incentivize local research activities, promoting innovation, technological advancement, and job growth within the state. Effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, this credit is available to both eligible corporations and flow-through entities. The program offers a tiered structure that provides different levels of benefits depending on the size of the business. Specifically, the credit distinguishes between small businesses with fewer than 250 employees and large businesses with 250 or more employees, tailoring the financial incentives to uniquely support their respective research and development investments.
