The R&D Tax Credit is a 20% federal credit designed to incentivize technological advances and the hiring of employees to perform R&D activities in the United States. R&D was made permanent by the PATH Act signed into law on December 18, 2015. The provision allows Eligible Small Businesses (ESB) that satisfies the less than $50 million gross receipts requirement to offset a taxpayer’s regular and AMT liabilities for tax years beginning after December 31, 2015.
