SUMMARY:Manufacturing Your Way to Lower Taxes with the R&D Tax Credit
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintDon’t File Your Tax Returns Until You Have This Information! \nAs the economy wraps up another slow\, if not unspectacular\, year of growth\, companies across the country are engaging in their planning for 2016. Competition for highly skilled workers is driving up wages\, health care costs continue to climb and new equipment is needed to stay competitive – putting more pressure on your company’s bottom line. \nUncovering tens of thousands of dollars of “found money” each year would help ease those ever-rising costs of doing business – NOW is the time to determine whether your company can benefit from the Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credit. \nThe definition of R&D is much broader than people realize. Companies of all kinds\, including those that have their own product lines (i.e. medical device\, software\, technology) and those that make parts for their customers (metal stampers/fabricators\, precision machinists\, mold builders\, plastic injection molders\, tool & die makers) often mistakenly believe that they DON’T have R&D taking place. This may be costing these companies significant dollars every year! \n\n“We have been very impressed with what Black Line Group has done for us regarding R&D tax credit assistance. They are highly knowledgeable and very responsive. They assisted in creating streamlined processes for compiling the required information. This has greatly minimized the time required for us to file for the tax credits. Black Line Group is fantastic and we just renewed our agreement for another three year period.” \nRoss W. Bird\, President\, QorTek Inc. \n\nAttend this event to learn: \n\nHow broad the definition of R&D is and where R&D takes place within manufacturing and technology companies\nIn addition to the federal R&D Tax Credit\, Pennsylvania has a very attractive and unique R&D Tax Credit that can be immediately monetized and sold for CASH\, even if no tax liability exists\nTips to ensure your documentation and methods are positioned for maximum tax credit benefit for your company\nCase studies of companies that have benefited from the R&D Tax Credit\n\nIMC is partnering with Black Line Group\, R&D Tax Credit specialists\, www.blacklinegrp.com and KIZ Resources\, a tax credit transfer firm\, www.kizresources.com to conduct this no-cost training. We encourage businesses\, as well as accountants/CPAs\, to join us. CPAs that attend can receive CPE credits. \n                                   \nClick Here for event flyer. \nRegister \nPrint PDFPrint
