Savings help Plastics Manufacturer recover government taxes paid and reduce tax liability going forward.
Expense To Profit’s Expertise in Tax Credits
ETP was initially introduced to a plastics manufacturer via its accounting firm back in January of 2018. The goal was to review their business activities and to see whether they qualified for the federal R&D Tax Credits. After the initial review, ETP determined that they would be a great candidate for an R&D Study and was engaged immediately to begin the process. Some of the company’s qualified research activities included expenses dedicated to prototype work, design efforts, and their engineering expertise. We were also able to qualify some unique software applications, and patents on their processing as well as outside contracting costs.
