Manufacturing and the R&D Tax Credit

Small businesses in the manufacturing industry can significantly benefit from the Research and Development tax credit by reducing their tax liability for developing or improving products, processes, or technology. For startups with little to no income tax liability, the Research and Development payroll tax offset offers a valuable opportunity—allowing them to apply the credit against up to $500,000 of payroll taxes annually. This helps offset critical payroll costs, freeing up capital for further innovation and growth, even in the early stages of development.
