R&D tax credits for architects and contractors
The R&D Tax Credit is the biggest tax credit available to U.S. businesses, yet also one of the most underutilized. This is particularly true in the architectural industry and within the contracting and construction arenas.
Architectural industry
We know that architecture plays a larger role in our lives than most people realize. The structure and design of a building shapes how we experience life at home, at work, and in our communities. But it’s also heavily involved in sustainable building construction, renewable energy sources, manufacturing plants, and integrates with engineering sectors. Because of this, architecture is a constantly evolving industry with innovation at the core of each everyday activity.
Many architecture firms are unaware that their work can qualify as research and development, and as such, they are not claiming the R&D tax relief they could be entitled to.
Construction industry
As modern technology advances at high speed, the construction industry continues to face increasing complexities associated with modern infrastructure.
Despite the construction industry being one of the major contributors to the U.S. economy, many construction companies in the U.S. are not aware of the research and development tax incentives available to them. Others may be aware of R&D tax credits but aren’t necessarily taking full advantage of them.
