South Carolina and the R&D Tax Credit
The South Carolina Qualified Research and Development Tax Credit indefinitely encourages local innovation by offering financial incentives to both corporations and flow-through entities. Basing its foundational criteria on the federal guidelines outlined in IRC Section 41, the state program rewards businesses with a credit equal to five percent of their qualified research expenditures incurred directly within South Carolina. While this tax credit cannot exceed fifty percent of a taxpayer’s total state tax liability in any single year, any unused credit amounts can be carried forward for up to ten years, providing significant and flexible long-term financial benefits to growing companies.
