Missouri and the R&D Tax Credit
The Missouri Qualified Research Expense Tax Credit Program provides state tax credits for growing research investments. Businesses earn incentives based on additional qualified research expenses, representing the difference between current year spending and the average of the prior three years. The credit equals 15% of this additional spending, or 20% if conducted alongside a public or private Missouri college or university. These credits can apply toward Chapter 143 income tax, excluding withholding, and Chapter 148 financial institution taxes. Unused credits may be carried forward for up to twelve years. Applications are due by the end of the following tax period.
