Washington and the R&D Tax Credit
Washington State no longer offers a general statewide Research and Development (R&D) tax credit, as its previous High Technology B&O R&D tax credit expired at the end of 2014. However, businesses conducting research in Washington should not overlook other valuable opportunities. First, companies can still claim the Federal R&D Tax Credit to offset income or payroll taxes using expenses like wages and supplies. Second, Washington provides targeted state tax incentives, including B&O credits and deferrals, for specific industries such as aerospace preproduction development and clean energy projects. Always consult a tax professional to maximize your eligible federal and state benefits.
