The 1981 ‘Economic Recovery Tax Act (ERTA)’ was enacted in response to a far-reaching concern that the United States’ economic performance had fallen well short of its capability. The ERTA was established as a fiscal stimulus to encourage domestic investment in the United States. Congress thought that cuts to research spending had damaged the country’s economic progress, productivity gains, and global competitiveness (defined by the fall of the U.S. automaker). The ERTA includes a “Credit for Increasing Research Activities” (the Credit). Thus, a credit encourages companies, start-ups, young business owners to do research, create new things, improve designs, etc.<\/p>\n
‘Qualified Research’ is typically defined as a private sector or commercially driven development endeavor to generate innovation in a scientific or technical discipline. It was codified by The Tax Reform Act of 1986 after being contained in House Report No. 97-201 (H.R. 4242). However, administrative problems and different interpretations by the IRS and taxpayers have resulted in a succession of Code changes.<\/p>\n
RD Tax Credits are incentives for firms created by the United Kingdom. They are a critical source of funds for firms looking to engage in R&D, recruit new employees, and expand. This credit is a pathway to which small businesses venture in the hopes of putting up an even more successful business or company.<\/p>\n
