Pennsylvania and the R&D Tax Credit

The Pennsylvania Research and Development Tax Credit indefinitely supports corporations, flow-through entities, individuals, and sole proprietors. Adopting the federal definition of qualified research, the state offers a ten percent credit rate. Pennsylvania annually caps this program at fifteen million dollars, reserving twenty percent specifically for small businesses. Unused credits can be carried forward for fifteen years. Uniquely, technology companies can sell unused credits on the open market after one year of Department of Revenue approval. Buyers can then utilize these purchased credits to offset up to seventy-five percent of their own tax liabilities, fostering further statewide economic growth and innovation.
