West Virginia and the R&D Tax Credit
West Virginia no longer offers a standalone state Research and Development income tax credit, as it was repealed in 2014. However, innovative businesses can still utilize the Federal R&D Tax Credit to offset income or payroll taxes based on qualified expenses like wages and supplies. Additionally, West Virginia provides a valuable Research and Development Sales Tax Exemption, which exempts purchases of tangible property and services consumed directly in research activities. Companies might also qualify for alternative economic incentives, such as the Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit or the Economic Opportunity Tax Credit for job creation. Always consult a specialized tax professional.
