Manufacturers are constantly innovating—whether through the development of new products, enhancements to existing product lines, or improvements to production processes. What many companies may not realize is that the costs tied to these efforts often qualify for the R&D Tax Credit. From streamlining workflows and testing prototypes, to implementing automation, robotics, or new materials, manufacturers frequently engage in activities that meet the IRS definition of research and development. With the growing demand for efficiency, precision, and sustainability, many manufacturers are investing in new production techniques and quality control systems. These activities require experimentation, trial and error, and engineering know-how, all of which can generate significant tax savings. Even improvements to shop floor layouts, tooling, or supply chain processes may be eligible.

 If your company is in the manufacturing industry and has recently introduced new or improved products, processes, or equipment, there is a strong chance you could benefit from an R&D Tax Credit study. Let incentAdvise’s manufacturing experts help you capture the credits you deserve and reinvest those savings back into innovation and growth.
